We are tiny in the scheme of things

Written by Aaron

I’ve never really given this any thought whatsoever.

I’ve seen this presented in a smaller scale, 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.

Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky.

It is more than 1000 light years away.

The universe is so vast it is not comprehensible by the human mind. It would be like an ant trying to understand the wonder of the internet? It can’t be done.?

The universe humbles us as it should.

    …I mean, who knew we were so minuscule in the universe. I never would have guessed that. And i also think its a neat way to demonstrate the sizes. Way to go!
