    They are all lightyears away from us, but there are some star clusters, particularly closer to the middle of the Milky Way, that are relatively close to each other.

      “relatively” is doing a shitload of work there

        Alpha Centauri A and B are closer from each other (~23AU) than the Sun and Neptune (~30AU). That’s basically next door in astrological terms, but still a whole freaking lot of empty space lol

      Also, what if there were like, large, space fairing celestial beings which might be biblical spirits or alien monsters in mech suits?.. And they can like, ninja around in space. The song might make more sense for them.

      Now look, there’s the moon and mars but if you want to go near the middle of the Milky Way that’s a whole different kind of operation my friend.
