Lost in Space? Here, have a map

I wonder when, and if, humans will ever travel to the far reaches of the galaxy. I feel sad that I won't be alive when some crazy scientist comes up with warp drive.

Forget the galaxy, I'd die happy if humans make it as far as Mars during my lifetime.

Our sun isn't cool enough to warrant it's own dot on the map 🙁

or more likely big enough in the scale that this is in....

Yeah, we really are pretty insignificant; kinda like how we probably view atoms or electrons is how the universe views us.

Or.. everything that exists is just an object of my imagination.

The universe doesn't have edges. 'Nothing' is just empty space.

Are you stupid? The universe is definitely flat, and has edges.

Just like Earth.

 
I've always wondered, we're in a sparsely populated outer region. In the inner regions, would planets there even have a night?

the universe is ever expanding at an infinite rate...there is no "end" per say.

How would that work for everyone viewing the picture from all over the world? They're in so many different places, that arrow would have to be all over the place.
