Immeasurable Heaven

That little red dot on that yellow thread (Cluster of countless number of galaxies) is our Milky Way galaxy - our GALAXY with its countless stars. Beautiful name given "Laniakea"- "immeasurable heaven" in Hawaiian.

Between Pupukea and Sunset Beach. Great surf, the last time I surfed there was 1968. I never knew what it meant until now.
