    Space Post - Size comparison

    Not seen it done as well as this before!


    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    LOL...VY Canis Majoris is like the scariest thing ever (apart from super massive black holes that are off the scale in the scariness stakes).
    Oblivion gallops closer, favoring the spur, sparing the rein - I think we will be gone soon

    Cool video. This would freak my wife out. For some reason she gets the heebie jeebies everytime we start talking about the universe and how small we are in the scheme of things. Apparently she doesn't like to be small?

    Then she should stay away from Steve Martin.

    That was a cool video. Something else to make me feel even more insignificant than I already do.
