a freind sent this over to me in an email -
Awesome!!!
This is really fascinating - I've never really given this much thought whatsoever since school, but it's rather dazzling to see it presented this way.
I certainly thought this was enlightening.
Didn't even realize we knew much beyond our sun. It's a big universe.
(Jupiter, in this picture, is 1 pixel in size and Earth is invisable at this scale.)
The universe is so vast it is not comprehensible by the human mind. It would be like an ant trying to understand the wonders of the Internet. It can't be done.
(Jupiter is invisable at this scale and the Sun is 1 pixel in size.)
Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky. It is more than 1000 light years away.
The universe humbles us, as it should.
