If by ‘explore’ you mean ‘visit’ then sure. Otherwise, we pretty much know what to expect - astronomy and astrophysics are no joke. On a human scale, visiting another galaxy means just seeing more of the same, so why even bother. Diversity of life forms? I think we have a better chance to invent and explore it in labs here on earth.

My brain always thinks of Orion being orientated with Betelgeuse in the top left, it's really weird seeing it 'sideways'

#15What are the small white dots filling the space between stars? Is this a camera artifact, gas/dust or something else?
