Is No Man's Sky fully explored?

No, No Man's Sky is nowhere near fully explored; its procedurally generated universe is so vast (18 quintillion planets across 256 galaxies) that even with millions of players, less than 1% of the initial galaxy, Euclid, has been discovered, with most exploration concentrated near starting areas and core regions. The game's core design emphasizes near-infinite exploration, meaning players will almost always find uncharted systems and planets, even if some areas are well-traveled.
