For your light-emitting screen, I dumped the background down to complete black, and also gave you some stars taken by Cassini (although needing a much longer exposure) https://i.imgur.com/N8LBnzv.jpg

Anyone know what those 5 perfectly spherical objects are directly in the void directly in center of shot? Something transiting in front of camera or something else?

This image is part of a 2 panel mosaic of the Heart Nebula but I was so surprised at the detail I cropped into the very centre - Melotte 15.

I captured this with a Canon 550D, L-Enhance Filter and Skywatcher Evostar 72ED telescope. I spent about 6 hours on each panel, making this my longest ever project.

And humans want to travel that at hundreds of thousands of miles per hour. Talk about taking a rock to the windshield lol.

In another random bit of info... the Observable Universe is around ~880,000 Milky Ways across.

To help in understanding how far away we are from Andromeda.... you can fit about ~23 Milky Ways, or ~11 Andromedas, from end-to-end in between the 2 galaxies currently. The diameter of the Milky Way id around 105,700 ly, while Andromeda is 220,000 ly in diameter.

Whiles its an unimaginable distance on a humans scale, they are basically right next to each other on a Universal scale.

Coming soon in 4.5 billion years, roughly equivalent to 0.098 Cyberpunk developments cycles.
