Always humbling to know every star you see in the night sky is right here in our own Milky Way galaxy. And beyond those billions of stars are billions of other galaxies. Over 1,000 of them, right there in the Virgo cluster, over 50 million light years away. The immense scale of the universe is truly amazing, and the possibilities of what exists is unlimited.

One of the more enjoyable parts of the Sky. I have the southern part of the cluster memorized, but, above this point, it takes a chart.

The Virgo Super Cluster is our little neighborhood in this big universe. It stretches some 110 million light years and is home to about a million galaxies.

That's a staggering amount of stars and planets we don't even know about. Planets that could have life on them. It's mind boggling.
