Through a scientifically unexplainable miracle,you are able to survive in every one of the places you are tested.(Lest you become too comfortable,however,you certainly are able to feel any associated pain due to high temperature,pressure,gravity,etc. ) In each case described below,identify your surroundings.In some cases,the surroundings described may exist only during eras of the universe (past or future) other than our own time;in those cases,you should identify both the place and the time where you are located.
-At last you are in a place where the heat and high density are no longer bothering you.However,although the density is very low,the gas around you is extremely high in temperature.In fact,the temperature is so high that it is emitting lots of X-rays,which are creating cancer-causing mutations in your body at a rapid rate.Well,at least the view is great! There are no stars anywhere within about 10,000 light-years of you,but at slightly greater distances your sky is brightened by many beautiful,star-filled structures,some with majestic spiral shapes.Where are you?
