yup. it's called a Galaxy......
I hear you, but he's saying it contains millions of galaxies. So it's not a galaxy it is the entire universe, or at least a chunk of space capable of holding millions of galaxies.
At this scale, then, are the galaxies supposed to be visible disks? Because I'm thinking that when you look at the whole cosmos, not a single galaxy would appear to be anything more than a dot.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
