    Thanks Tailor for reviving this thread. Very up to date this Planetarium, even Oumuamua is represented here.

    This thread reminds me strongly of DW. Hope you are well DW!

    They spotted another older (or younger?) Milky Way:

    "Astronomers spy a Milky Way–like galaxy in very early universe

    Astronomers imagine the early universe as a wild and lawless place, with chaotic fledgling galaxies full of swirling gases and frantic star formation. So an image released today comes as a surprise: a young galaxy, spied when the universe was just 10% of its current age, that looks remarkably like our calm and well-ordered Milky Way.
