- irrational 8y agoI think OP means that LMS isn't a place per-se (like a planet, or maybe even a solar system is a "place"). It's a whole bunch a places bound together by gravity.
- TheOtherHobbes 8y agoEven so. if you happened to live there you'd get a view of all those nebulae, and the Milky Way in the distance. You might need eyes the size of a satellite dish to see them all though.
- gbrown 8y agoWe can see all that from here though.
- gbrown 8y agoExactly
- ddingus 8y agoThat's right. In a very shallow, simplistic sense, we see all these other amazing phenomena out there. Our home seems like a little rural backwater, crossroads and a store kind of thing, by comparison.
- anonytrary 8y agoA solar system is a whole bunch of places bound together by gravity, too. What's the fundamental distinction here? That the center of mass isn't approximately one massive thing (e.g. the solar system is 99% the center -- the sun)?
