We're not in the middle of the galaxy, we're in an unfashionable arm!

cheers GB.
But tbh it isn't just seeing it - it's the perspective. To fully realise yourself in relation to the enormity and wonder of the universe.
I dunno, born to early to be space explorer and too late to be a medieval knight. Life just isn't fair sometimes

I think people without their right arm are quite sinister.

a view of the centre of the Milky Way, a composite, I think, from the Hubble, Spitzer, and Chandra telescopes.
Linking to the blog cos there a few links from there to different versions (including wallpaper and HUGE versions).
very pretty

Two lil's? Prob not too bad until they get too close and start orbiting each other closer and closer until finally they meet in a large explosion and merge to form one super-dense mega-lil emitting antitechons, and giggleons at an alarming rate into the surrounding space.

quite possibly but I'm not sure it is calibrated to detect lil-rays and the side effects of Giggleholes (areas of matter so dense not even lil's giggles can escape them).
