  • Yup. Each number also has six lines between them. There’s usually only four lines from what I’ve seen. One line = ⅕ ml, or 200 μL. Some thinner syringes will have markings for 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 ml. Those have one line for each ⅒ ml, but still only four lines between the numbered markers.

    I feel like maybe this generated image was influenced by an image of a syringe with the half-ml markings, like in the picture below. Then there would be two markings starting with 1, and with 2, and so on. But the generation missed the “.5” part. 😅





  • I don’t know why you bring up being able to see the dwarf galaxy at night as a qualifier.

    Because a whole ass galaxy should be visible, I would think, but I also asked how small we’re talking — maybe it wouldn’t be visible. You know?

    Anyway,

    The Sagittarius dwarf galaxy, a small satellite of the Milky Way that is leaving a stream of stars behind as an effect of our Galaxy’s gravitational tug, is visible as an elongated feature below the Galactic centre and pointing in the downwards direction in the all-sky map of the density of stars observed by ESA’s Gaia mission between July 2014 to May 2016.

    Scientists analysing data from Gaia’s second release have shown our Milky Way galaxy is still enduring the effects of a near collision that set millions of stars moving like ripples on a pond. The close encounter likely took place sometime in the past 300–900 million years, and the culprit could be the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy.

    Seems like it was only a near collision eons ago, but maybe it’s still on a an absorption path to be consumed by The Milky Way in the future. Cool, didn’t know about that.
