Reply to 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] by lampiaio

What is the explanation for this difference in appearance?

Reply to World Series champion, TV analyst Tim McCarver dies at 81 by gilbertsquatch

I went to see a spring game at Port St Lucie (Mets), on our way out of the stadium we found ourselves walking next to McCarver and started chatting with him. Super nice and cordial, unassuming, talked for close to 10 minutes then took a picture with us. RIP Tim
