We’re kinda lucky that our solar system is situated in a part of the galaxy that has a view.
Yes, it’s good to be near the outer edge of our galaxy, we get to see stuff outward without too much interference.
I did some research, the Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million lightyears away, but these two galaxies are 23 million LYs apart so I don’t expect them to have a very good view of each other.
It would have been cool to have another galaxy filling up your sky broadside. We would have been amazed when we finally figured out we were part of another galaxy just like the one we have been looking at for thousands of years assuming we were part of it!
Yes! Areas with this kind of view cost about 300,000 heklars more than those with obstructed views. Location, Location, Location.
Living in the suburbs has it’s advantages in many ways. and thank God that we are not in the inter galaxacy; no black holes or red giants to contend with. Very few, if any, novas to contend with in the middle of the night. Even the number of comets roaring through the neighborhood is relatively uncommon.
