You can not comprehend the size of the milky way. I even doubt that a human can understand much more than 1 km or maybe 10, but that:s it. Even though you may vizualize it by increasing scales, í consider these vizualisations not helpful, as you only show the scale between two objects that both are beyond comprehension. But you always encouter this kind of problems when trying to vizualize something as large as a galaxy. However, i really like the effect of switching off the milky way, that is a really cool effect, very impressive and really shows how large the void behind the curtain of the milky way really is. .

Last I checked, the limit of the observable universe is about 54 billion light years. That's about 4.6E24 miles, an incomprehensible distance. Our own galaxy, by comparison, is "only" about 125,000 light-years in diameter, or about 1.5E14 miles. Sounds really big on its own, and, by our scale, it is, but in the whole of the universe, it is less than a fly-speck. Talk about feeling insignificant.
