Everyone talks about how huge Andromeda will look in the sky billions of years from now. I present you what the Milky Way *currently* looks like in the skies of our neighbor, the Large Magellanic Cloud. We appear absolutely huge in their skies! [Simulated view]BariNgozi t1_jduexhe wrote

The Milky Way is perfectly visible in extreme darkness like the desert or somewhere very rural on a clear night. It's absolutely possible for a neighboring entity to have a view like this if they could position themselves front and center of our galaxy, but far enough away to see it all. The light our galaxy emits with its 100 billion stars all clustered together in this beautiful formation is more than enough.

And yet all those stars are totally erased by a shining moon or a distant town or less than perfect spectacles.
