this would be the nearest galaxy.

this galaxy is 27,000 light years from us.

radio waves from this galaxy could reach us but it would take 27,000 years.

Ahh, right, I see. The true size of the galaxy is just mind-blowing.

I'll be honest, I am a bit of a novice on this whole subject. It interests me enormously though. Does anyone know of any good books I should check out for an introduction to it all?

Rare Earth: Why Complex Life Is Uncommon in the Universe

They've been living with us for some time now...

What else could be out there? the possibilities are infinite, yet startling. The universe may never end and there may be millions of other places with life that we will never know about. It's impossible to think that we are the only life out there.

It always ****s with me when I think of this.

I say to myself. So this planet , is on this galaxy , and then there are other galaxies , and more , and more , and I suppose of course wayyy more , because theres not going to be a wall , so to speak , or an edge , where it ends.

So its ****ing infinite. And thats where it starts to **** with my mind. Jesus Christ , where the **** are we.

What are all these galaxies floating on. What are all these galaxies inside of. Or outside of. Or where?

You know what I mean.

Is everything inside , I dont know , a floating sphere?? but where is that sphere? Are all this galaxies inside a cube?? but where is this cube?? Is this **** infinite? Most likely. WTF , Im going crazy right now.
