Very nice pics......
Now, imagine the known universe inside a paperweight on gods desk!
then imagine another known universe, fitting in another paperweight, on another desk in that universe, and think of this pattern repeating itself infinitely...... that is how big space is....  hock: hock: hock:

Excellent! But one big starship is missing - Sovereign class super star destroyer (length 15 000 m), it is smaller variant of Eclipse class SSD :wink:

Fun fact . . . there are (approximately, like within an order of magnitude) the same number of known and named galaxies in our universe than there are stars in the Milky Way . . . but as to universes, we cannot say, because no emperical observation known to man can reach outside of this universe.

Anyone's brain hurt when they try and comprehend the sizes of those stars?
Man, I hope we are able to explore space like in Star Trek...I'd love to know more about what's out there, and get some pics on my digital camera.
Great thread travis!
