Everyone talks about how huge Andromeda will look in the sky billions of years from now. I present you what the Milky Way *currently* looks like in the skies of our neighbor, the Large Magellanic Cloud. We appear absolutely huge in their skies! [Simulated view]samajhdar-bano2 t1_jdsae87 wrote

Correct. The Large Magellanic Cloud is too far away from us for our telescopes to resolve any potential planets that may exist there. Still, it's a galaxy (albeit a small one), so it most likely contains countless planets orbiting its stars. What the screenshots show is a procedurally-generated asteroid, which I considered useful to include in the shot (so as to give some sense of scale).
