"Mommy, where do stars come from?"

"Well, when galaxies love each other very much, they get involved in intense gravitational interactions..."

I often wonder what the night sky looks like on worlds in other galaxies. Do you think one of the galaxies in the photo looks huge in the night sky of a planet in one of the other galaxies? I wonder how such a sight might affect any intelligence that developed under such a sky.

Twinkle twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.

I always feel like stuff about stars should be in the past tense because of the whole speed of light thing. . . oh well.

Then it would be:

Twinkle twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you were. . .


It would only rhyme in parts of Baltimore.

Well, technically, the present tense still works, since what you are seeing IS what it was, and if you have a spectrometer handy there's no need to wonder about it.

Yeah, if you were somewhere else in the galaxy, or universe, there would also be entirely different constellations, since the point of view is changed.

On a side note, before entering this thread, i thought it was about the american flag.
