Space Engine is Amazing - thoughtsonstuff.txt

This was written on the 20th of October, just never got around to posting it XD
So I booted up SpaceEngine yesterday!
And its.. beyond what I expected.

Nebulas?
They're not thatttt big.. Maybe 10lyr across on some of the small ones?
I found a colorful dot on the side of the screen, clicked around on stars near it until I hit the nebula itself, and hit g twice.
Z0OOOoommmmmm, the stars went by.
I arrived as the autopilot slowed down.
Scrolling my cursor, I selected 10ly/sec as my speed, and hit w.
The nebulae flashed past and dissappeared.
I turned around to find it a small dot on the screen.
Puppis A.

Space.. they say its vast.. but imo its actually quite small.
If you go to thousands of ly/sec you can move across galaxies with ease.
I used to think of the intergalactic void as empty and big.. but its PACKED FULL.
Giant blobs of light that look like your in a star cluster, when really, your in a galaxy-cluster.

Today when trying to pilot ships, I may of accidentally warped out of the milky-way. I ended up next to a giant grey-white disc of light.
When flying around this galaxy, I ran into a cluster of stars high above the galactic plane. A cluster of stars, this was not.
A globular galaxy, this was.
Tiny I say. Thats what the universe is. A cage, in so many ways.

Tiny.
ABSOUTELY FUCKING AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL TOO!!

Also go check out 41 Ori E 7 and RS 8474-1353-5-21230-366 B6 for some mind-blowingly beautiful wallpaper(IMO).
