This looks a lot like a sky shot of a dense city at night.
New cyberpunk world-building technique just dropped

The Milky Way galaxy is estimated to have 400 billion stars.
Elon Musk would have enough money to give at least 2$ to each star system in the galaxy.
Fuck Elon Musk.

$2 to each star in the galaxy, and still have enough left over to be ludicrously rich, and have more than anyone could reasonably spend in multiple lifetimes.

It really tied the universe together until some Chinaman peed on it.

Imagine, you go to quit your job cuz you think our galaxy looks like a rug but your boss explains to you that that is a whole different galaxy and ours doesn’t look like that. You start crying and your boss says to you, “There there, don’t cry over spilled milk.”

Those yellow things are all stars? I thought they are more sparse
3 daysWe’re looking at vast distances, and there’s no depth perception here. Like seeing constellations, those stars that look clustered up are actually much farther apart than you realize, but you can’t tell the distance just by looking at it
They are very sparse on a solar scale, but not on a galactic scale

Also this view might include red dwarfs which make up like 75% of all stars and are not visible to the naked eye at night (and wouldn’t be even if you were in space on the dark side of the moon. they’re too dim compared to the sun). When you add them in galaxies are much more dense with stars.

We could all be dust mites on the bath mat of some colossal being, and one day we’ll be flushed out in their washing machine

Pretty sure that’s just an old linoleum tile or faux granite counter with reflections of the overhead light rather than a rug.

“This galaxy looks like a rug. Your argument is invalid.”

All these stars out there and we’ll never visit them; all this universe out there and we’ll never explore it

Tbf, I’d much rather visit the planets and/or moons around the stars than going anywhere near the stars themselves 😛

I’ve just gotta assume there’s plenty of other sentient shit out there experiencing the wonders and horrors of the universe as well.
