If the Milky Way were reduced to 130 km (80 mi) in diameter, the solar system would be a mere 2 mm (0.08 in) in width.

I had forgotten about the Canis Major dwarf but it doesn't change things very much. It is still a hell of a long distance from here. The distance in kilometers is all but meaningless because the numbers are so high. My son and I took a few great colour photos of Andromeda last year. What impresses me is that the lovely telescope photos are giving us information that is two million years old. For all we know, Andromeda blew up and disappeared thousands of years ago. I'm sure it didn't, but how would we know?

#juan,
can you send me some of those photoes, please? I am eager to see the sky thourgh telescope. Unfortunately, I don't have one.
I'm really interested in astornomy. I see in the night sky, but I have no clue what I really see. Next semester I am taking a class of astronomy. It will explode my mind on this subject.
I've been studiing astronomy all by myself. So far I've learned a little. It's true that the light reached the Earth had left their origin 10th, 100th, 1000th, millionth, million-million-...-millonth...th years ago. So, currently we are studiing the "history" of the galaxies and stars.
