Especially on realization that this 100k stars is only 0.0001% of the stars in our galaxy. It would take one million of these visualizations to represent the Milky Way.
I was surprised to learn recently that we can only see 5,000 stars from Earth with the naked eye.
Is that even in the best conditions i.e. a dark site?

I think the original point of Chrome Experiments was showing off what the performance of Chrome and cutting edge web platform features unlocked, not showing off things that only work in Chrome. Don’t want to sound like I’m writing an advertisement for Google, but in 2009 it really was genuinely stunning how far ahead Chrome felt. (And how far behind, too, considering it did not have any kind of extensions at that point, IIRC.)
Nowadays the moniker doesn’t hold a ton of meaning, since most browsers are Chromium anyways, and Firefox is quite competitive in both performance and in implementing cutting edge features…

#26My first thought was that some VM virtualization repo got 100k stars on GitHub :))

How did you check the framework?? I mean is the source code accessible to you?

#30Every couple of years I'm reminded of the scale of the universe and I'm just as shocked every time.
Quite amazing really.
