Comments

  1. Kian: what's the scale on this thing?
  2. Noelreyesxo: what even is scale when looking at something as humongous as that
  3. Echo Vesper: how do scientists not trip over their own feet when working on something this massive?
  4. Bianchiomar: 4 billion objects? where's the map's algorithm on handling collisions between galaxies?
  5. Fathom Specter: how's it interactive if most people wouldn't even know where to start looking for things?
  6. Lena: I'm still trying to wrap my head around that number of pixels, but I guess it's cool. Is this thing actually interactive, or just a fancy picture?
  7. Quiet Nomad: I'd rather not see a giant image of a galaxy on my phone to be honest. Can't they just create something with a bit more tact instead?
  8. Noralarsen: what's next? do they plan to make us able to zoom in on our neighborhood asteroids?
  9. Milaivanov: how does one even visualize 4 billion objects?
  10. Silent Oracle: that's a lot of data to wrap your head around - what's the actual resolution on this? can you zoom in and see anything recognizable?
