Awesome!! A quick fly-through from smallest to largest or vice-versa is pretty cool too.

Very cool. I was also amazed at how far Voyager 1 had travelled, can't believe we humans sent out something that far away. And yet it's probably only travelled 0.00something01 percent of the observable universe...

I dont know about you guys, but I feel extremely tiny right now. Makes my upcoming midterms seem less significant.

If people think there isnt life out there, they are crazy.

I zoomed out first and felt tiny, so when I did it zooming in, that was crazy. Zooming in was even more intersting IMO, everything gets bizarre at that scale.

There are only two possibilities: Either we are alone in the Universe, or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.
~Arthur C. Clarke

Was about to say just this.
Been stuck in my head since I've started playing XCOM and been looking for a place to quote it!
