When we see a hundred billion stars or beautiful swirling nebulas created from titanic stellar cataclysms, or just our own star, the sun, we are witnessing the Forge of Creation. In such neighborhoods, we would be treated to a sky emblazoned with multicolored pinwheels made from hundreds of billions of stars. This galaxy has a diameter of 100,000 light years and if we lived closer in towards the center, the day- and night-time skies would be a blazing, dazzling glory of swirling nebulas and stars more brilliant than baskets of the finest jewels strewn across black velvet.Īlso, there are places in the universe where groups of galaxies swirl and dance in close proximity (where galaxies are concerned, close proximity is on the order of hundreds of thousands of light years apart). We are about two-thirds of the way out on one of the spiral arms of a magnificent galaxy we call the milky way. We occupy a rather obscure, sparsely populated, place in the cosmos.
