  For 2001 fans, Atmosphères by Ligeti[1] also works very well while doom scrolling the endless canvas that is the Universe.[1] https://ubu.com/sound/ligeti.html

  That's impressive. Though I think there's too much space on this plane. I'm wondering whether it is actually a 2D view since it obviously isn't planar.To paraphrase Samuel L Jackson - "I have had it with this m'f'ing space on a plane! Everybody strap in I'm about to open some f'in' windows."Proceeds to crank open an array of telescopes to get another 3D perspective of a 4D universe so we can project it onto our 2D viewing devices as if that were reality.

  Seems like some of the most interesting objects are missing or have weird red/green artifacts, why is that?

  I wonder how many of the red points/stars are black hole stars[1][1] https://news.mit.edu/2026/astronomers-discover-brand-new-typ...

  Not this data, but from nearby 3D star map with rotations:https://www.ouruboroi.com/moire3

  Not many people know this, but the actual universe is 3D, so this map is misleading.
