And just to remind you of your place in the world, here's a bit of a galaxy - which appropriately enough is part of one of your standard galaxy clusters.  It's 50,000 light years across and 28 million light years away.  Not a bad view - remastered from the Hubble Space Telescope.

    Nicholas - WTF are humangoes? They sound delicious, but maybe a CJD risk?
