Original Title: Astronomer here! My first ever article for Scientific American magazine is out this month! All about how black holes shred stars and how we discovered that black holes "burp" after eating them, plus a black hole named Jetty McJetface!

Hi guys!

I just came across a piece of information that blow my mind. Actually when you think about it is not that farfetched, but I never gave it a thought, I guess.

Apparently 99,9999999999999999999958% of space is made of, guess what? Space! An empty and dark and scary nothingness.

I have been always fascinated with the universe but was never so great at math so help me out here.

Hypothetically. Imagine we board a spaceship that goes on a straight line and on a totally random direction through space towards the edge of the visible universe. With this amount of emptiness everywhere is it safe to assume that we would reach our destination unarmed? I am guessing the chances of hitting a space object would be quite low, right? Or am I missing something?

When I was a kid watching the star wars movies, I always thought it was crucial for the spaceship to calculate the route before they went to light speed mode. It just made sense. But today I am guessing it wouldn't be as important as I thought?

Thank you for your thoughts!

EDIT:

I want to thank you all for your wonderful answers. I got more information than I could ask for. The internet can really be a special place.
