    $\begingroup$ Even in intergalactic space, other stars are visible. We can see other galaxies, after all. Also, whilst they were extragalactic I seem to recall that they were only ten thousand lightyears away from the body of their nearest galaxy; close enough to understand but too far to get there. Possibly that's worse. (Also, the Culture has visited both the large and small magellanic clouds, so they'd certainly have been able to reach out a mere ten or hundred thousand lightyears to pay a visit). $\endgroup$ Commented May 30, 2019 at 19:58
