Chapter 43 - List of Nearest Galaxies to the Milky Way (Patreon)

Who knew there were so many "satellite galaxies" to the Milky Way, some of which are relatively small?  I certainly didn't.

“What galaxies have your fleet of drone ships visited?”

Starcharts, of varying levels of completeness, are available for 47 of the nearest local group of satellite galaxies of the Milky Way.

Again, I was shocked at just how far traveled the Phaelon civilization was. The Federation had barely explored or charted a small percentage of its native galaxy, yet the Phaelons were already exploring the Milky Way’s satellite galaxies.

The phrasing of the answers I was getting was also interesting to me, suggesting that I was running up against some limitations in the data that had been put into David’s mind.

“Can you please display a complete star chart for the system that Earth is in right now,” I requested.

Immediately, a familiar star chart showing the sun and the orbital path of the planets in the star system were holographically displayed, along with corresponding mathematical notations. It was extremely detailed, but there were unfamiliar mathematical notations that bore some resemblance to the dimensional coordinate system that I had recently learned and then mastered with Q’s snap of his fingers.

“What are these notations I’m unfamiliar with?” I asked.
