Really enjoyed the subject matter of this video, but man you really sensationalized it. Saying things like planets are "gruesome", or even just calling astronomy "pure nightmare fuel" felt asinine and clickbaity.
Amazing video and the filmography as well!! Could you please tell me the background music piece at 6:06 please? Thank you very much in advance!
I think the most unfathomable part of this video is using Fahrenheit when referring to science and the cosmos. The US really needs to catch up with the rest of the world.
No
I find that thought oddly comforting….
It's crazy listening to this and we all still get up just to work for money. We should be enjoying this life much more.
Couldn't be said better.
Absolutely agree 1000%
Gotta work into passive income my guy. Now my girlfriend and I wake up to do whatever we want and the money comes to us.
Some of us have to work to pay for those who don't. I can think about the cosmos when I get home.
@@Jackson-de1fwhow?
"enjoy the fear while you can still feel it" was cold ash
@@SixxWolfZx huh?
I literally screamed out “thats a fucking bar” after he said it🤣
The funny part of it all is that no matter how terrified you are of space, youre in it. Youre made of it. Everywhere you look, is it. The great mystery.
Most of everything is dark matter, dark energy and helium. We are not made of universe. Being made of "Star-stuff", popularised by Neil deGrasse Tyson, is a naive comforting thought.
Space isn't real. Its an illusion.
@@firefly9838I think u might be stupid
@firefly9838 Bait used to be believeable
space is only noise if you can see
It’s insane how big these stars and planets get. It’s beyond comprehension
I’m not terrified of space. It leaves me in awe and I find myself inspired by the power and significance of it. It’s the most beautiful art
it is very beautiful yes. but when people start to overanalyze it then it becomes a nightmare
I have a similar view of space as i have of the ocean; A vast, unexplored emptiness hiding beauty and diversity, as well as unknown dangers and challenges. We'll first learn how to traverse our solar system which i like to compare to the mediterranean during ancient times. After that, it's gonna take time for us to invent the caravel and find a new world by crossing the Atlantic (hopefully no slave trade this time).
@@HeroinYoda Next you befriend philosopher and you begin to think infinity and zero. Then asylum for a while. Then salvation somehow in ignorance.
@@MrGoranPa We all think in between infinity and zero because there's literally nothing outside of it (as far as we know) .
Think more! Be brave!
The size of the universe crushes the soul, reduces us to meaningless cells in a lonely framework. It destroys the ego, smashes it so that it can't be mended, and for that, I'm grateful.
Excellent comment . Highly relatable.
Yet all size of universe is nothing in comparison with infinity. It is much more horrible than anyone can imagine. So we stop thinking it and begin working something.
Indeed. Like the infinite worlds theory where anything that can happen will happen, and over and over again until time ends, and it never ends.
It's a good thing because otherwise it would just be you, a rock, and nothingness. You'd be bored and wondering why isn't there anything else 😂
Hear! Hear!
This is exactly what I like to listen before going to sleep.
Just me... Listen to this on the bright of last day of my yearly holiday in the most peaceful place that I visited all my life... Thinking that I must return to my job, to my life as a number, as a nothing. not living but existing just to came here next year to feel alive. This kind of video can push you in to depression or give you this power of realization that your problems and this stupid job is nothing... Even grain of sand in this beautifully seashore is more important than grant scheme of universe than ours problems. This for me is the best power up. Life is meaningless :)
About to sleep kinda scared
Same
Me too, I just say "Alexa .. I wanna hear the voice of someone who's full of absolute shit & doesn't even know what they're talking about."
& it's like "Here's something I found on RUclips for you."
I’m listening to this right before sleeping I’m chill at least
‘Enjoy the fear while you can still feel it…’
I got shivers from that closing quote. Masterfully written my friend!
6:04 "Twinkle, twinkle."
No truer words to live by 😭
It makes me think of the start screen of Dead Space.
“Twinkle Twinkle Baby”😂
made me laugh
😂😂😅
😂😂❤️
It’s crazy when you think about it, we’re Actually _in_ Space. We’re “on” Earth but *in* Space. Like I can look up at night and see Space 🥴
Great video. To quote Star Trek: “It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid.”
Who on star trek said that?

@@LelianaBaal It's from the episode "Q Who?" , where they introduced the Borg for the first time. Q wasn't in BoBW.
What's scary is how we can only see a small proportion of space, and the idea that it could be infinite, our minds can't fathom it, we don't know what is beyond the depths we can't see. The unknown is what scares us the most.
Space is so terrifying because it’s a reminder of how small and insignificant we really are in the grand scheme of things. It’s the vast void on full display where you realize it’s staring right back at you, intensifying your existential dread.
at least we are here though! And we're made to study and develop this world, hopefully in a positive way.
we are nothing, earth is nothing, even our galaxy is just a spit in the pacific
@@krisstopher8259 we might also be everything, the firstborn, predecessors of all that will be - for we began as mold and now look at us... patience my friend, we are on our way :)
In what way? None of that is alive. Life is pretty incredible in its existence alone even if we ignore the fact that Life managed to get from mindless bacterium to being able to contemplate on its own significance. Do you look at a mountain and go "My life is meaningless because this mountain of stone is so much bigger than I am!". Nothing out there in space that isn't alive is "important".
@Based_Gigachad_001 Nice argument. How is it cope?
When you close your eyes and go to sleep you are in a void. It’s actually quite comforting if you don’t panic
This made me reflect on people signing up to colonize Mars. Go hang out in Siberia for a week and get back to me. Leaving the planet, and signing up for the afformentioned idea but permanently, and never having the possibility of any of the comforts we take for granted here is just not going to work. Unless we're preceded by drones (for example) that would prepare the planet for our arrival to extreme degrees, it's just a death sentence carried out through a vehicle of madness and agony, ending in failure. If you go to Antarctica, you can always return home or be rescued (promptly, most importantly). Landing on the red tundra of Mars and being trapped there is a horrifying concept.
The way we’re heading living in siberia is Guna be something we wish we had when we have no choice but to leave this dying planet
So we are fleeing a dying planet to colonize a dead planet?
there's an awesome video game i played a year ago and it's about that exact subject. it's called "deliver us mars". look it up
We're never going to live on Mars. I believe humans usually accomplish what we set our minds to. But I just don't believe people can live on Mars for any long period of time.
@@peterhanson3391 never say never this planet won’t always be here
Honestly, I think a really good cosmic horror story could be made from the perspective of the crew of a ship that found itself stranded in a star system stick in the middle of Bootes Void
Agreed
Any system detached from a galaxy would be nightmarish enough, the milky way is 300000 light years across, intergalactic space to the closest galaxy is 2million light years, think of all that empty space.
In David Brin’s “Otherness” is a short story about a conscious spacecraft whose warp jump drops it in such a situation, at the center of a void so broad there is no escape. I won’t spoil it. One of many fascinating stories in the highly recommended collection.
The "twinkle twinkle" caught me off guard 💀
Who would have thought that song could illicit cosmic horror?
I've had a personal struggle lately,
I've been ever more conscious of how insignificant our existence is, it's almost left me feeling hopeless in a way
I hear people complaining, I see people having children, I see people with large egos, most things end up being a reminder to me of how meaningless it all is
It's both a curse and a cure for my personal human experience now. I appreciate the small beauty of life on our speck of dust, a small creature or plant makes me emotional
I simultaneously feel some type of disgust when I witness the ignorance humans display to it all
I cannot relate to most any longer, and I wouldn't want it any other way to be honest
I do feel the same way about how narrow other peoples' perception ranges are. Jeez, can't they get out of their self-created bubble? In other words; pull their head out of their azz! There are many things to learn out there. Like, what is Space/Time comprised of. That would be a big help to know. What I can't stand is whiney people tell us it doesn't even matter and to quit spending money on Space exploration.
@@一一一一一一一一一一 caught in the rat race, detached from nature and the true meaning of humanity
We are insignificant. You can either take that as a reason to feel hopeless, or you can choose to let it liberate you. You don't have to worry about anything, because all your biggest mistakes will still amount to nothing in the grand scheme of the universe.
@@TheRealSkeletor I agree with you, "all our biggest mistakes will still amount to nothing" is liberating, well said my friend
but on the day to day, for the rest of my life, it will both liberate and burden me...
That's the beauty of it all I suppose, it is bittersweet just like our existence is
Theres a meaning when you have god in your life. ✝️❣️
Fear nothing. Infinity will reclaim everything. And from nothing, everything else will emerge again. and again.
We live on and on within Samsara.

Your editing style is so visually appealing, creative, smooth, and clean… It’s inspiring. Paired with the way the script was written, it’s just so good. This is a really great video.
Strangely, I get the complete opposite feeling of Astrophobia; Astrophilia! I love space, even the “scary parts.” They’re not scary; it’s just a certain part of space that’s just there. We can’t avoid voids, we can’t stop them, they just keep going. And we keep going, living our lives, while black holes are expanding, new stars are bursting, and dying at the same time at speeds, and temperatures inconceivable to mankind. Mathematically impossible numbers that aren’t even invented yet, possibly. All of these larger than life facts just amaze me. It excites me, it makes me marvel at how incredibly beautiful and horrible this universe is; how expansive and ongoing it is. It doesn’t really make me feel “small,” per se; it actually reminds me how smart humanity can be, when we discover new things in space, and the gobs of information that has to be discovered in the future, by future generations of new and optimistic scientists. Space is both light and dark, cold and burning hot; amazing and horrible. It’s the literal interpretation of Yin and Yang.

This channel keeps adding to my existential crisis, yet I keep coming back 🥲
i reached max a long time ago. forget hope and all that. just keep living and doing stuff
Same, after a point tho, I found it freeing.
A reminder that we are only here for a blip of time and we shouldn't overthink everything, just enjoy the ride living in a moral way that adds to other's happiness and experiences.
@@maddscientist82 Just submit to one True Almighty Creator & you will feel much more peaceful than in any other way of Life.

im just here for the obligatory person who has to say "eXiStEnTiAl cRiSiS" on every one of this guys videos
For humanity its a blessing to exists and also cursed to be alive.
sometimes i feel humans are terrifing , but this is on a another level
sometimes? lol
pretty sure space is last thing u fear when waiting to be skinned alive by cartel
Man the end speech there really touched my heart and brought a tear my eye. I'll be 40 this year and lost my brother a few years ago and fiancé and daughter a few months after. Also my father a couple years before. It's really heard to see any beauty in life or enjoy music and arts. For some reason I just can't find a way to feel any happiness at all ever. I know there's so much more put there and should really just be happy I still have a chance. I'll try...
Life can be very cruel, it’s okay to not feel happy. I know how hard it can be to see a positive side and the unhappiness that follows. I hope you’re doing better now.
This actually excites me…because we have so much to learn !
I know! It would be much more terrifying if it was finite and we found an end.. if we were able to learn everything
@@jbear3478 true!!
We're like early astronomers looking at lines on Mars and guessing they're canals. These exoplanets are lightyears away and we're guessing their details based on their light spectrum, extreme natural possibilities, and our imagination.
yeah, wants to know how did they find out? What type of planets these are and what is on them if they’re light years away
@@RoseGold1224 yeah this is hard to believe. I believe most science but tell me a planet is made of diamond that rains glass sideways and exist 5000 light years away. Yet we can't with certainty say what our planet is completely made up of. It's all good guesses based off data. But when it comes to other planets outside our solar system we are just making shit up.
I feel like if the cells in our bodies had a RUclips they would be blown away at the size of all the organs and bone relative to their size, yet they don’t realize there’s this whole universe outside of their home. So what if what we think of as otherworldly huge, is barely a speck compared to something else, and on and on and on.
Agreed
it’s so easy to forget space exists.
sometimes i try to remind myself that our world is smaller than a popcorn kernel compared to this void of practically infinite nothingness, and it makes me want to diminish whatever stressful experience is occurring in my life or within the world at large.
it’s so difficult being human. we are animals, after all. we are so limited by our biology, no matter what our potential is, no matter how smart the most intelligent person to ever live is. we are animals. we are not meant to comprehend numbers this big. sure, we can make equations and predictions and models but… there is necessarily a limit. we are animals. we are things. the limits of the world are the limits of what this animal species can comprehend.
and there is so much more that we could never understand, no matter how we try, no matter how badly we want to. everything any individual could ever know will be interpreted and understood by the brain of a human animal. we are so, so limited. what we know is an incomprehensibly small amount of what is truly out there.
i really enjoyed the lovecraft quote at 12:05. as frustrating as it can be to learn and realize the truth of this terrifying universe, it is also merciful in a way.
we can relax in a sense, knowing that all that we have built - even the most ridiculous parts - is meaningful. it is meaningful.
you must accept that we will never *ever* understand beyond what our biological species is capable of understanding - which is very little, despite our accomplishments thus far that feel herculean. we are necessarily limited by our biology. we will never surpass those limits without some sort of technological body modification that may eventually, theoretically, exist in the future (though likely not in our lifetimes - you who are reading this comment at this moment. think about you right now. all the humans *right now* - from now until you’re dead.)
it is meaningful. space is big and earth is tiny and everything will eventually die in a terrifyingly cold and empty heat death with nothing changing forever. but we are here now. dumb drama in your life or in your friends’ lives matters now. the people you know now will die. maybe tomorrow, maybe in 30 years. but they will die. so remember that this is important. we’re just animals. and that’s nice. it’s merciful. just let us be simple, social animals. we have no other choice.
No.
When I was around 10 years old I had a nightmare that was terrifying, it was so terrifying that I couldn’t remember much about it other than I was in a place of black nothingness. I can’t emphasize enough the terrifying nothingness I was in. Even to this day 54 years later if I think about it to much the terrifying feeling starts creeping back in again. This is the first time I’ve tried to write out what I felt or tell anyone about it because of the terrifying fear I have of having to go back there. The one thing that worries me is that I was in a place where God has abandoned you and that’s where I’m going when I’ve completed my life here on earth.
I’ve thought about trying some kind of regression therapy just to see where I was but I think now I would probably not make it back out. Oh and the awful thing about the whole thing is it happened twice a year apart in the month of August….so for the longest time I would always be afraid to go to sleep in the third week of August. Don’t know where I was but maybe it’s the nothingness he was talking about in this video.
I’ve had the same dream too as a child. I’d wake up terrified after dreaming I was falling through nothingness. It was as if I’d been there before I was alive and I would return there when I pass on. I worry about it too. I hope that it was just a nightmare but something deep down tells me it wasn’t just a dream.
@@Nikki-qi4ki I've had that dream too. Someday we will all return to the darkness. You and I may not be alone, but humanity is.
@@Nikki-qi4kiTake comfort in the fact that in the vastness of space; that blackness is our default state. Which means if you’re alive right now, you essentially got out of it. So if you die, what’s to say you can’t somehow come back, if you were basically dead before you were born right? If you came from nothing once, what’s stopping you from coming alive again?
Thanks man now I want to go use again to forget what's to come...
This was intensely comforting and satisfying to watch... to see how trivial and insignificant our civilization or our existence is, can be quite humbling... our tiny little minds can't even fathom an inch of this vast emptiness that surrounds us... we are blessed in that way with this habitable planet and blissful ignorance that we shall be grateful for...
This video is what listening to Boards of Canada feels like to me. Wonder and dread at the same time.
Woah someone else listens to them too? Accurate though
Honestly I feel that. Glad to see more BoC enjoyers
I like to think that the recordings of animals on the Voyager records are all saying "don't trust the humans" and that's what aliens will find, translate and hear before arriving at Earth.

I don’t think space is scary, its actually beautiful. Such a carefully intricated display of celestial matter that all beautifully interlink with eachother, its a blessing we get to be apart of it.
Its terrifying when IMAGINING being alone in the middle of space with the infinity of nothingness surrounding me in all directions 😳
Thank you, relativity & the close proximity to others 🤗
Why would you ever be "alone in the middle of space"? It's a ridiculous notion. If you ended up there, you were already dead. Like, imagining yourself in an ocean of fire, or of water..... No one finds themselves in the middle of it unless they tried very hard to put themselves there.

When I consider places like Bootes void I experience this unsettling sensation, the sensation that me and Bootes void exist at this exact moment in time, I am here and it is there and for some reason this absolutely terrifies me.

I think that space is like a museum of everything that could go wrong. And then there's earth, where everything for life is precisely right. It speaks to me not only of precision, but intentionality. So far, we are unique among the worlds.
I had a near death experience 3 weeks ago. I was an industrial designer before then. I am now consumed with a thirst for understanding about our universe.
There are some beautiful parallels (pun intended) between the quantum and psychological.
Welcome to the club. I’ve had multiple near death experiences which led me the same direction. Somehow, understanding what’s out there is more important than being a ceo. My priorities completely shifted
I love these reminders how small I am in the grand scheme, makes all these stupid lil worries on this rock all the more trivial and silly. Thanks dude, cool vid👍
2:19. Nah, I think an adult might lose his sanity, but a baby? No frame of reference.
truly an amazing video! it got me feeling a little better on a lonely night. this is the first video i watch of you, but i must say im impressed. keep making videos, cause your great!
That. Was. Beautiful.
The ending of this video is so beautiful, it really puts into perspective how lucky we are to be able to feel and do all the things we can

“Put your hands up, scream and enjoy it”… yes that is about the perfect way to experience this whole massive tilt-a-whirl. I believe that sums it up. Great video thanks man
Space is beautiful and terrifying, at least to me, because here on earth, every condition is balanced and perfect for all sorts of life to exist, but once you leave our atmosphere, EVERYTHING is, by its design, gauranteed to cause our death in some of the most violent ways imaginable.
Everything works in a cycle of creation and destruction. Same with the planets and stars. Same way with humans and animals.
Sadly, humans have gained the means of guaranteeing our own death without even leaving the atmosphere.
I clicked on this on a whim, was pleasantly hooked! Space is like the ocean in so many ways, but in this case I’d liken it to how beautiful and terrifying it can be
I'm more terrified of the ocean than the space.
Phenomenally well written piece here. It certainly makes one think. Some comforting thoughts, some terrifying. Thank you to all swinging hammers on this.
I'm sure you know, and I get why this image is used, but the image at 7:55 is not Boötes Void. It is a nebula in front of the stars depicted in the background. An actual image of Boötes Void is probably quite boring to look at, because the void exists in a 3-dimensional space - stars in front, stars in the back, and all around it.
Otherwise, great video!
This video makes me feel the same way that an old Sesame Street scene did. A little girl, sitting on her living room couch, starts contemplating how big the world and universe are. We are so small!
So you can fit 1,300 grapes inside of a basketball? 😂
😂😂😂😂
Best takeaway from this video honestly.
@@TheRealSkeletor lol
Although the diameters of both planets are roughly 1:10, the volume difference is much much higher. V=4/3πr^3. Volume of a circle is literally exponentially bigger than the diameter.
@@skf6199 Beautiful equation! And I understand, Was just being silly.
This is exactly what I needed. We're all in space now
Those giant voids in space use to tear my sanity into pieces as a kid.
Same here. Have you learned anything since then that made it easier for you to accept the truth of these things? I haven't either.
@@lightningrod1063 i have learned more stuff since then but its had quite the opposite impact i was hoping.
For me, as a kid it didn't particularly overwhelm my mind but I still understood and respected it. Many years later when I first started 'exploring' space in Space Engine, that's when the overwhelm and true awe of space's size kicked in.
And the ominous terror of approaching black holes, which I never truly overcame no matter how much I entered them after previously having made efforts to avoid them.
Well it should be pointed out Voids aren't empty. They just have much less matter than non-Void space. There are galaxies in Bootes.
@@razeezarI have yet to try Space Engine but your description of it reminded me of the terror I felt with Subnautica. I still feel it. I could get more numb to it if I played awhile, but the dread never truly left me. Going "outside the map" or swimming freely above a vast, deep swathe of water below - sends shivers down my spine, beyond existential dread. Unintentionally, it is the scariest game ever because it encapsulates my thalassophobia and amplifies it, the feeling of absolute powerlessness and insignificance
When I contemplate the vastness of the universe, I think of a person floating in an ocean with no hope of ever being anywhere but. The mind can torment with what may happen or the mind can enjoy the sensation.

also ur voice is so soothing, love the vid
If you're on Earth, aren't you also in the universe? Isn't the Earth part of what we call the universe? Where is my mistake in thinking?
Yes, dear viewer. The cradle is in the home.
You tried to make it seem scary, but I was in awe the whole time!
This video makes death not bad, not bad at all. Death could be the best to ever happen to each of us.
Imagine being immortal and travel for ever into the void. That's worse than hell.
Infinite suffocation. Forever cold.
recently made such space music/videos myself too, space is terrifying yet beautiful , hopeful yet hopeless, we philosophers like to stare into space, when young , didn’t understand ‘when someone dies it is a dying of a star’ now start to appreciate the complexity of everything that ever existed , human , as the most complex structures out there as we know of in the universe
This might just be the best video you have ever made.
I take great comfort in knowing there is little I can do as the little I am in this great and vast universe.
I have a question, if anyone can answer: What makes us say that other planets are uninhabitable? What if there are species suitable for the conditions on those planets, and maybe our technology is not advanced enough to detect them?
Well, I guess a lot of the time, they mean uninhabitable by us, which is most likely completely true. We evolved to very specific conditions here on earth, and the chance of finding a place we would be completely able to live in within our reach, is overwhelmingly unlikely, if not actually impossible. But uninhabitable to other creatures that they themselves evolved on their own planet? We can't say that, unless we see it's really close to a star or something which would make life impossible.
@@DenethordeSade.90 One thing is sure, we gotta be looking a long time, considering the amount of planets out there
There's nothing preventing the possibility of other forms of life on those planets. The problem is we only know how to look for what we know, which is life on earth. Until we find any other kind of life on other planets or celestial bodies (even just microbes), we have only our own planetary biome as a point of reference for what is suitable for life.
Every creature lives to maintain their planet. There is always one species that evolves to maintain other species and phenomenon that occurs. The first of all creatures was born from a planet’s soil. (I’m making stuff up)
Everything you said about fear as a blessing is so wise and humbling.
Jupiter, deadly as it is, is a failed star. while it sounds regretful, if Jupiter had been a star, life likely would never have been possible on Earth, if Earth even formed at all. We have so much to be grateful for in this terrifying universe.
Jupiter isn't a failed star. It's too small. A brown dwarf is a failed star and they're much bigger and denser than Jupiter.
@@Deadclown45acp ok potato potato im trying to be poetic here
@@foogriffy LOL okay. I apologize.

It’s not a failed star, it’s an over achieving planet!
I find space endlessly fascinating it's not scary but something to be admired and respected.
This world is more terrifying than space IMHO! 😊
How could you even think this? I can’t even fathom how you came to this conclusion.
thank you!
@Perciprius_91 I just want to go to space, I'm so intrigued by it, if someone asked do you want to take a trip to space, I wouldn't even hesitate!
This is an incredibly nieve and disingenuous response. You would very quickly change your mind if you suddenly found yourself in any random point out there. Without a little bubble of Earth (air, temperature radiation shielding etc) you wouldn't survive more than a few minutes at best, anywhere else in the known universe.
No kidding. Honestly that huge void seems peaceful to me.
Such a great video. I've loved everything to do with space for decades and I'm no expert, but do know a lot about it, but you managed to make this video not only interesting, but terrifying at the same time. Nicely done!
It's absolutely terrifying and beautiful at the same time. Wether we believe it or not - we can't help to fathom the undeniable fact that it points to a Creator in the Universe. It's creation is delicate and complicated that human understanding wouldn't be able to reach because we don't have the tools and lens to be able to comprehend.

We are in deep space.

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH
many people dont realize, but its still possible to work for yourself and live a super simple care free life. save up, buy tons of land, become as self sufficient as possible like dig a well, compost all of your waste plant veggies and fruits and have chickens and get solar and batteries for power and starlink. im working towards that now. not easy to break out what we were born into and what the perceived norm is
4:05 -- So, planet HD189733B... How do we KNOW these fine details about a planet 65 light years away, down to the appearance of clouds or surface temperature? We clearly don't have any probes or ships out that far...
I imagine we can tell some of its composition by its electromagnetic radiation and the spectrum of light it emits. Besides that we can know the same about the star it orbits by the same method.
Also; how long an orbit takes and how far away from its star that orbit is.
If you accumulate all that information, you'd have something to go on.
@@BeezerWashingbeardlol what? No dude. No. There is no way to determine such specific details as the ones described in the video. This stuff is straight up science fiction. Absolutely not scientifically proveable period.
Astronomy is extremely scary, especially when you find out we are sitting in a shooting gallery between the Sun and Oort cloud/Kuiper belt. It-s only a matter of when.
Am just a particle in the universe
Yes, this planet we call home is but a speck of dust in the Universe. And we are even less significant on the surface of that speck of dust.
That picture you had of Boötes Void is actually Barnard 68, which is a dark absorption nebula within the Milky Way and actually fairly close to earth. Only 500 light years away. In comparison the center of the milky way is 26,670 lightyears away from earth
