This piece right here this is called the Orion Spur and people are still trying to work out exactly what the actual details of the actual shape of the milky way galaxy is the galaxy that we're in but we're pretty sure we have these spiral arms and we have these spurs off of them, but its actually very hard to come up with the actual shape especally because you can't see a lot of the galaxy because it's kinda on the other side, on the other side of the centre but really just to get a sense, I mean at least it blows my mind if you really think about what it saying these unbeleivable distances show up as a lil dot here this whole drawing shows up as a dot here. now when we zoom out over here that dot would no longer even show up it wouldn't even register a pixel on this drawing right over here and then this drawing this whole thing right over here this whole pic is this grid is this grid right over here it is this right over here so hopefully that gives you a sense of how small even our local neighborhood is relative to THE galaxy as a whole the galaxy as a whole just to give you a sense has 200, 200-400 billion stars or maybe i should say solar systems just to give you a sense that you know when we saw the solar system its not just the sun its all this neat dynamic stuff in there, planets and asteroids and solar winds and so there's 200 to 400 billion stars and for the most part 200 to 400 billion solar systems so its and unimaginably complex or huge place and just to make it clear you know even when we zoom into this pic right here and i think its obvious based on this that these lil white pockets right here these aren't this isn't one star this isn't two stars these are thousands of stars here so when you go over here each little blotch of white that you see that's not a star that's not a thousand stars we're starting to talk in the millions of stars when you look at certain blotches here and there i mean it maybe one star that closer to you or it might be a million stars that are far apart and that are just relatively close together and eveything has to be used in kind of
