$10,000 quadrillion...
NASA Teases ‘Psyche,’ A Robot To Explore An Asteroid Worth More Than Our Global Economy
Space agency begins work on the hardware that will fly to its target in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
NASA Teases ‘Psyche,’ A Robot To Explore An Asteroid Worth More Than Our Global Economy
How many zeros?
Google says one quadrillion is 10^15.
So Ten Thousand Quadrillion = 10^19.
However if we were to use good old fashioned British quadrillions it would be 10^24 and 10^28 respectively.
I think they're the American quadrillion though.
Anybody else illogically annoyed by the fact that the world has adopted the American economy sized billion of one thousand million instead of the traditional one million million? Always annoyed me growing up.

Probably made to look worse by the size the satellites appear, but yes.

Assume the lineal ones are the new space x?
I don't have a problem with them. They provide so many services and some good people would be alive now if GPS was readily available when I flew in PNG.
There are fair few departing orbit, and some inbound as well. Guess that they are not man made ones, so where is the graphic from?

Very cool, a map of our Galactic Super Cluster named Laniakea. The Milky Way is just a small part of this cluster.
New Galactic Supercluster Map Shows Milky Way's 'Heavenly' Home
A new map of a giant group of galaxies known as the Laniakea Supercluster is giving scientists a revealing glimpse of our Milky Way galaxy's home in the universe. See it here.
And straight to the YouTube video:
Just mind blowing stuff with the numbers and distances and sizes.

@Machpants actually listened to a podcast about that! Think it may have been a Nat Geo one, or was it

Awesome
"The carnivore likely fatally injured itself while trying to consume the enormous meal."
Reminds me of:
Worth a crack Nigel.

“It’s not a smoking gun,” said study co-author David Clements, an Imperial College of London astrophysicist. “It’s not even gunshot residue on the hands of your prime suspect, but there is a distinct whiff of cordite in the air which may be suggesting something.”

@taniwharugby so three astronomers get on the piss and decide to search the galaxy for farts?
WTF were they drinking?
