When you think about it, people were absolutely obsessed with the stars and the night sky back in the day. And it’s a no wonder. Not saying they could see stuff like this with their naked eye, but you basically could see the Milky Way galaxy from literally any where in the world with a clear night sky thanks to their being 0 light pollution. What would you be obsessed with if you could look up and see THAT every single night of your life

i often have similar daydreams about beings that live in a different galaxy that is in the process of merging with another galaxy. like imagine if you could see the andromeda galaxy taking up a quarter of our night sky. it seems likely that all intelligent beings have their views shaped by their skies
