Astronomy can sure be interesting at times.

I still can't really wrap my mind around Black Holes.

I wonder if one day Vice will but the VY Canis Majoris as a solar system in a future game. Or the fact not all solar systems have been discovered in the game, it might be out there somewhere. Now that would be a very pleasant surprise. :D
