Jesus Christ the night sky looks soooooo crowded. But all those stars are light years apart from each other. Space is incomprehensibly large.

Never thought I'd see a crossover of weed growing and astro photography.

Actually, now that it's said, it makes sense.

Is this an actual picture or a creation of yours?

I know I'm on Reddit too much but how weirdly coincidental that I was just wondering what would a good name be for the galaxy after the eventual merger. Then bam, here you are. I think I'm becoming psychic.

You're gonna gets Herms if you don't cover up them pinholes.

Very nice. But what do you use to take this image? Digital camera or telescope? Give some details

The Andromeda–Milky Way collision is a galactic collision predicted to occur in about 4.5 billion years between the two largest galaxies in the Local Group—the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy. The stars involved are sufficiently far apart that it is improbable that any of them will individually collide so if life is still in either galaxy they should survive but they will have some insanely beautiful views in the night sky! I took this a few weeks back with my eos and 50mm lens 100 2 minute exposures 1600 ISO stacked and edited with Deep sky stacker and siril.

Since the odd of it hitting anyone on the planet is 1/9,400, wouldn’t the odds of it hitting me be (1/9,400)/8,000,000,000?

Hello again mr.Pettit ! Always a pleasure to look at your art.

M-star = the planets are going to lack atmospheres.

Just like how weird a fancy enough telescope we realized that most of the Dots of light out in the cosmos arnt actually stars but entire galaxies. We likely can’t see individual stars that don’t exist in Our galaxy

If you drop nukes from the back of a spacecraft and you have a big pusher shield/shock absorber thing on the back you can get to like 1/4 the speed of light.

So, in theory, we could get there in a lifetime.

Google says at current standards, it would take 281,000 years to get there. Space is big.

It had its hair up and was wearing glasses.

Right now a lot of exoplanets we found are big and have tight quick orbits around smaller stars. It makes them easier to see.

As we get better tools and understanding and have more time up observe we'll find more solar systems that resemble our own.

Just around the corner, how have we not noticed it before?

Noice! Shared to r/moonporn

So you have a better chance of being harmed by this satellite (1 in 9,400) then being struck by lighting (1 in 15,300).

Still not worried but - but watch yer heads! Lol
