Every 10 seconds the total distance on screen is 10 times the distance.

in 1977 they didnt have balls to go over one billion light year

Does these articles give anyone else anxiety?

it is the feeling of insignificance. looking at articles, diagrams and pictures/videos of space can sometimes be difficult to comprehend because of how seemingly endless it is. it also makes us realise that we are just a speck of a speck, a tiny blip in the endless darkness

No...

Rather learn the fibonacci sequence, be able to push and pull it, by then just release and go with the flow. It's the holding on which is your issue and over-analysing. Which is what I use to do myself. It overwhelms you and you can't fully control it. You can suggest or even stack probability towards your own faviour, but you can't control the actual flow of it. That drives you insane the more your dig and analyse it, trying to find that logic and reasoning. Yet I wish I could. Feel it, rather than fully trying to control it. Learn to release from it and enjoy the ride like a roller coaster.

Our brains are not equipped to understand just how VAST the empty void of space is. To illustrate, it takes 8 minutes for light to reach Earth from the Sun.

8 minutes travelling at the speed of light. 8 light minutes. Now you understand how far away the other stars are, and why we're never leaving this solar system. The hostile universe was never made for us.

You either have astrophobia or megalophobia. I too, get a lot of discomfort when I suddenly am zooming in and out of celestial objects just to have a star or gas giant suddenly come RIGHT UP IN MY FACE. Its a horrible feeling of unease. Possibly worse than a jumpscare from a monster in horror, because your brain can rationalize the creature away, but it can't deny the insane hugeness of the unforgiving and cruel cosmos.

nope, i hope multiverse and parallele universe exist for immortality

for me universe is only natural resource and place to live

Nah, just a confirmation bias :D

I feel an incredible amount of "immensity" browsing these articles. I feel I'm learning everything.

We're positioned in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way, which is part of the Local Group.

There's a Local Void situated near the Local Group, and there's the KBC Void or Local Hole, situated near, and partly overlapping with, the Laniakea Supercluster.

And before we reach the Universe, we have another major pitstop: The Cosmic Web.

So let's do the full zoom, without wikipedia:

We begin at the smallest scale: the quark level. Here, within the subatomic realm, forces of strong and weak interactions weave intricate patterns. Quarks, the elementary particles, come in six "flavors" (up, down, charm, strange, top, bottom) and three "colors" (red, green, blue). These flavor-color combinations form the foundation for the matter we observe.
As we zoom out, we reach the hadronic scale. Quark combinations give rise to mesons (quark-antiquark pairs) and baryons (three quarks bound together). Protons and neutrons, composed of up and down quarks, form the nucleus of an atom.
Moving up to the atomic scale, electrons orbit around the nucleus. The electromagnetic force governs their motion, with energy levels and electron shells emerging from the interactions. The periodic table, a manifestation of atomic structure, displays the diversity of elements.
Next, we transition to the molecular level. Atoms combine in various configurations to form molecules, showcasing complex chemical bonds and properties. The periodic table's organization reflects these relationships.
As we continue zooming out, we reach the macroscopic realm of everyday matter. Molecules aggregate into cells, tissues, organs, and organisms, exhibiting emergent properties that arise from interactions at lower scales. Life, with its intricate biochemical processes, emerges as a manifestation of this hierarchical complexity.

We begin with Earth, our home planet, on our second leg of our journey. A terrestrial paradise teeming with life, Earth's diverse ecosystems and species are a testament to the complex interplay of geological, atmospheric, and biological processes.
Zooming out, we reach the Solar System, a small island in the vast galaxy. The Sun, a G-type main-sequence star, is the center, with eight known planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune), dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other celestial objects orbiting it. The Solar System's structure is a manifestation of gravitational interactions and the Sun's energy output.
As we venture further, we enter the Orion Arm, one of the Milky Way's four spiral arms. Named after the constellation, this region is characterized by young, blue stars, nebulae, and star-forming regions. The Orion Nebula, a stellar nursery, is a prominent feature, with its vibrant colors and intricate gas structures.
Continuing our journey, we arrive at the Milky Way Galaxy, a barred spiral with approximately 200-400 billion stars. Our solar system is just one of many orbiting the galactic center, a supermassive black hole with a mass of four million times that of the Sun. The Milky Way's disk is divided into four spiral arms, including the Orion Arm, each with its unique characteristics.
The Local Group, a small cluster of galaxies containing the Milky Way, Andromeda, Triangulum, and several dwarf galaxies, is our next stop. These galaxies are gravitationally bound, with the Milky Way and Andromeda in a slow collision course set to merge in approximately four billion years.
Further out, we find ourselves in the Laniakea Supercluster, a vast network of galaxy clusters and superclusters stretching across hundreds of millions of light-years. Named after the Hawaiian word for "immeasurable heavens," Laniakea is a mere part of an even larger cosmic structure.
Finally, we reach the grand Cosmic Web, a three-dimensional network of galaxy filaments and voids that forms the large-scale structure of the universe. Galaxies are embedded within these vast, diffuse regions, with their motion influenced by the gravitational pull of the surrounding web. The Cosmic Web's intricate patterns, seen in observations of galaxy distributions and galaxy redshift surveys, demonstrate the fractal nature of the cosmos at this scale.
