The Universe and Stars

Do you know how long the tail of the Tadpole Galaxy is?

It is 280,000 light years!!

There are a huge number of stars.

If the stars are all in the size of our sun, the tail allows 1.9 trillion suns to line up and form a queue.

The Universe and Stars

A Short Sci-fi Story
Travel To Lenticular Galaxy

In the distant future, mankind has finally broken through the bonds of the solar system and opened a new era of interstellar travel. In this era, mankind has already mastered the technology of using wormholes to travel at superluminal speeds, making it possible to cross galaxies. In this era, there is an organization called “Star Explorers”, their goal is to explore every corner of the universe, looking for new homes and unknown civilizations.


A young astronaut, her name is Linda, has been curious about the stars since she was a child and was aspired to become an astronaut. After years of hard work, she finally became a member of the Star Explorers and was chosen to carry out an unprecedented mission - to explore the distant Lenticular Galaxy.


The Lenticular Galaxy, named for its lens-like shape, is a giant spiral galaxy about 250 million light-years from Earth. The galaxy is thought to have the potential for life, as scientists have detected some unusual signals there.
Linda and her team were traveling in an advanced spacecraft called the Star Shuttle. The ship was equipped with the latest wormhole-jumping technology and can travel millions of light-years in an instant. Prior to their departure, Linda and her team underwent rigorous training to learn how to deal with unknown cosmic environments and possible encounters with extra-terrestrial life.


As the countdown ended, the ship activated its wormhole jump engines. In an instant, they travelled through endless darkness to the edge of the Lenticular Galaxy. Here they saw a magnificent river of countless stars, each one like a beacon of the universe, illuminating their path of exploration.


Over the next few months, Linda and her team began a detailed exploration of this galaxy. They discovered a number of peculiar planets, some of which had environments strikingly similar to Earth's, with liquid water and suitable temperatures. They also discovered some unknown alien creatures that had different forms, some resembling plants on Earth and others more like sea creatures.


As they delved deeper into the lenticular galaxies, Linda and her team discovered more Earth-like planets. They conducted a detailed study of the atmospheric composition, geological structure and possible signs of life on these planets. On one planet, named “Star of Hope”, they discovered an organism similar to Earth's algae, which formed a large green plankton in the planet's oceans, providing the basis for the planet's ecosystem.


On Star of Hope, the team found a delicate ecological balance. While the algae provide oxygen to the planet, their overpopulation also contributes to ocean acidification, and Linda and the team must be careful to sample and study them so as not to disrupt this fragile ecosystem. Using advanced ecological simulation techniques, they modelled the effects of the algal organisms and came up with possible solutions, such as introducing microbes that can control the algal population.


On another expeditions, Linda, alone in a small probe ship, travelled deep into the atmosphere of a planet. There, she accidentally discovered the remains of a massive alien city. The city was apparently built by a highly advanced civilization, but was deserted, with only broken walls remaining. Linda carefully explored the city, hoping to find some clues to the civilization's past.


Just as she was exploring deeper, her probe ship was suddenly hit by a mysterious beam of light and lost control. Linda realized that it might be some kind of defence mechanism left by the alien civilization. She struggled to stabilize the ship and tried to escape from this dangerous place. After some intense manoeuvring, she finally managed to escape and returned safely to the Starfinder.


Upon returning to the ship, Linda shared her findings with her team. They decided to study the alien city in more depth, hoping to find more information about the civilization. Using advanced scanning equipment, they conducted a thorough scan of the city and eventually discovered a huge library hidden in the centre of the city.


This library held a vast amount of alien knowledge, including their science, culture, history and art, and Linda and her team were so enamoured that they began to translate and study the material, hoping to learn something valuable for the future of mankind.


After completing their exploration of the lenticular galaxies, Linda and her team returned to Earth with a full harvest. Their discovery shocked the world, and mankind's knowledge of the universe took a big step forward. Linda became a hero, and her story inspired more people to devote themselves to the cause of interstellar exploration.
The Lenticular Galaxy, once a remote corner of the universe, has then became a new starting point for human exploration of the universe, opening a new chapter in human interstellar travel.


In the exploration of the Lenticular Galaxy, Linda and her team not only faced technical, physical and psychological challenges, they also had to deal with unknown alien environments and life forms. Each challenge tested their courage and ingenuity, and each victory gave them a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the universe.


Toward the end of the exploration mission in the Lenticular Galaxy, Linda and her team were ready to return to Earth with a wealth of data and samples. They knew that these results would bring about a new technological revolution for mankind.


The exploration of the Lenticular Galaxy was just the beginning of human interstellar travel, and the story of Linda and her team has inspired many more to devote themselves to the cause of interstellar exploration. With the development of science and technology and mankind's continuous exploration of outer space, the mysteries of the universe will be unravelled one by one, and mankind's position in the universe will become more and more important.


Linda stood in front of the observation window of the spaceship and looked at the distant starry sky, she knew that this was only the beginning of her interstellar exploration career. In the days to come, she would continue to lead her team to explore more galaxies, search for more life, and contribute to the cause of human interstellar travel. And the Lenticular Galaxy, this once unreachable corner of the universe, has now become a new starting point for human exploration of the universe, opening a new chapter of human interstellar travel.

The Universe and Stars

A cosmic poem 😆

IC4752, a spiral in the sky
You shine with starry grace and light
Your arms are like a cosmic swirl
A peacock's feather in the night

IC4752, a galaxy so far
You hold a billion suns and more
Your bulge is like a glowing core
A beacon for the cosmic shore

The Universe and Stars

Some thoughts about spaceship
What if we can work from an office with a big window through to the beautiful space?
What if we can do some light work-out in the spaceship driving cab watching the fascinating space from the big windscreen?
What if we can sit back and relax in front of the huge windscreen of a gigantic spaceship watching the charming space?
What if we can sleep in a spaceship under the amazing stars?
