@coreyspowell I thought I was looking at a Mario Mendoza spray chart.

R47HK3 is my name

@coreyspowell Would be more helpful if there was a "You Are Here" arrow. Just sayin'.

@R47HK3 @coreyspowell The entire map is an arrow pointing at the words "you are here" in clear plain text in the middle of the bottom of the graphic

The Total Perspective Vortex has been proven to be bad for your health, though.

@wishartfrankfield @coreyspowell Surprisingly enough it's the bit at the bottom center that says "you are here" and the entire map is effectively an arrow pointing right at it.

@pieist Ah, I was looking for the pointing arrow.

This is so incredibly cool

Hubby and I spend a lot of free time learning about the cosmic microwave background and thinking about cosmology. He's a data scientist and a bit of a math enthusiast.

I like it when this stuff blows my mind in a fun way!

@coreyspowell Somehow I read collapsible universe and it made sense. 😆
