The Universe is huge and there are a lot of shapes because - the Universe is huge....and it is beyond Man’s grasp to understand it all...

We have found the Pierson Puppeteers. Can the Kzinti be far behind?

Maybe the vortex is the universal shape Voyager 1 gets instructions turn left.

It’s only about 15 million miles out.

this is far more incredible:

I have a program called "Celestia", which basically a universe simulator (and more). I went to check out Betelgeuse. It is so big that if you were at the distance same distance from the center of Betelgeuse as the Earth is from the center of our sun, you'd actually be under the surface of the star.

Yep, don’t fall in, it’ll take no less the 9.2 billion years.

It is also interesting that the circle is pointing at us.

It seems just as likely that we would see the side of it.

That, or some ancient alien civilization had a really bad day................
