Title: Not from the milky way?

Scientists Now Know: We're Not From Here!

Imagine the shock of growing up in a loving family with people you call "Mum" and "Dad" and then, suddenly, learning that you are actually adopted!

This same sense of shock came as scientists announced that the Sun, the Moon, our planet and its siblings, were not born into the familiar band of stars known as the Milky Way galaxy, but we actually belong to a strange formation with the unfamiliar name of the Sagittarius Dwarf galaxy!

How can this be?

From my favourite Sci Fi author.

Douglas Adams.

QuoteTotal Perspective Vortex

The Total Perspective Vortex is allegedly the most horrible torture device to which a sentient being can be subjected.

    When you are put into the Vortex you are given just one momentary glimpse of the entire unimaginable infinity of creation, and somewhere in it a tiny little mark, a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot, which says, "You are here."[5]

QuoteIn one of Douglas Adamsââ,¬â,,¢ Hitch-Hikersââ,¬â,,¢ Guide books thereââ,¬â,,¢s a machine called the Total Perspective Vortex, a form of punishment which shreds its victimââ,¬â,,¢s mind by exposing it to the actual scale of the universe and showing them how infinitesimally tiny and insignificant they are. The outrageously egotistical protagonist, Zaphod Beeblebrox, is flung into the machine and emerges smiling, the Vortex having apparently confirmed that yes, he was in fact enormously important.
