This zoomable picture of the Andromeda galaxy has insane detail. It really impressed me with the crazy amount of stars visible once you fully zoom in. And that is just a small section of one galaxy! Made me realise how unfathomable the total amount of stars in the universe really is

It was purposefully typed in this way to hopefully better convey the sense of scale and achieve the impossible task of imagining such monstrous sizes. I wanted the reader to feel certain emotion.
