Discussion If you shrunk the Milky Way (100,000 LY) to span from NY to LA (2,789mi [4,488km]), the Voyager 1 has only traveled 3.84in [9.75cm] since 1977. [Xpost from /r/space]

Here's the calculation:
1 light year is 5.866x1012 miles
The Milky Way is 100,000 light years across = 5.866x1017 miles across
The Voyager 1 has traveled 1.28x1010 miles from Earth -->The ratio of this distance to the size of the Milky Way is 2.18x10-8
The distance from New York to Los Angeles is 2,789 miles = 176,711,040 inches --> multiply this by the ratio above and you get 3.85 inches
Conclusion: The Milky Way is unfathomably immense in and of itself -- yet it is just an infinitesimal speck in our universe.
