I grew up in the western United States and I have always loved long road trips in the wilderness. I am old enough to remember when we kept a folded up paper map in the glove box of the car. Learning how to read it and navigate with it was a huge deal, not to mention how difficult it was to ever get it folded back together! And now I am sitting here, watching a video on my phone, about the progress in mapping the universe. Folks, the way we look at our place in the cosmos has changed! Thank you, Anton, for opening and expanding my view of…everything.

You know what would be insane... If the map was interactive and if you click on a dot it shows the name of the Galaxy and how many LY it has and the distance from us
