22·182760°, 55·134184° Rub’ al Khali, or The Empty Quarter, is the largest sand desert in the world. It covers 650,000 square kilometers (251,000 square miles), and includes parts of Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen, and the United Arab Emirates. In the center of the desert there are a number of raised, hardened formations that were once the sites of shallow lakes, thousands of years ago. For a sense of scale, this Overview shows approximately 350 square kilometers (135 square miles) in Saudi Arabia, near the border with Oman

I was watching one of those space-science programs recently that was focused on the trails and tribulations they went through getting Hubble out there and functioning.Quote:

In a month or so, everyone was blown away.
As you said, it revealed 10s of 1000s of galaxies in the tiniest space that no one had ever considered before.

When you say, pick one of the spiral galaxies in it, and consider it may have a billion or a trillion stars or solar systems in it, and that these numbers of galaxies are in every millimeter of space from our pov, the number of intelligent civilizations out there must be utterly staggering. Which means that right now, there's probably quite a few intergalactic battles going on between some of them. :) There's also probably a mirror image of you out there, and even one where Daffodil isn't a big fatty or Manfan actually has a sense of humour. :)
