Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I play a game called Elite Dangerous which is a simulation of our galaxy. You really get an idea of just how large the galaxy is after playing for a week, traveling 1000 light years, and opening the galaxy map and seeing you have hardly moved from your starting point. Then consider our galaxy is just one of many and realizing earth is no more than a grain of sand on a beach. Awesome and humbling at the same time.

Many of those loops are far bigger than the earth.

Yeah, good job that we are 1 AU distant from it.
@FrayedBear I have heard it said that an AU may not be enough, and that it is possible that some of the mass extictions could have been caused by bursts of solar radiation, since on one knows the untimate magnitude of a solar flare.
@Fernapple OK when you have to go you have to, right?
