Twinklies

Oct 13, 2010 04:09

Everyone always talks about how mind-boggingly far away the twinklies up in the sky are.

They're actually quite close. The way Sprocket Doggingsworth sees it, we're surrounded by billions of them, thousands of which are close enough to see with the naked eye (low hundreds if you live in Queens).  The vast majority of our corner of the Universe is made up of empty spaces between galaxies, where a cluster of galaxies might appear to float in the black as a distant speck.

We got it good here. The twinkles are close.  We be where the action is.
