1. This is the Earth! This is where you live. ![]() And this is where you live in your neighborhood, the solar system. ![]() |

3. Here’s the distance, to scale, between the Earth and the moon. Doesn’t look too far, does it? ![]() 4. THINK AGAIN. Inside that distance you can fit every planet in our solar system, nice and neatly. ![]() 5. But let’s talk about planets. That little green smudge is North America on Jupiter. ![]() 6. And here’s the size of Earth (well, six Earths) compared with Saturn: ![]() 7. And just for good measure, here’s what Saturn’s rings would look like if they were around Earth: ![]() 8. This right here is a comet. We just landed a probe on one of those bad boys. Here’s what one looks like compared with Los Angeles: ![]() 9. But that’s nothing compared to our sun. Just remember: ![]() |

16. But that’s nothing. Again, as Carl sagan once mused, there are more stars in space than there are grains of sand on every beach on Earth: ![]() 17. Which means that there are ones much, much bigger than little wimpy sun. Just look at how tiny and insignificant our sun is: ![]() 18. Here’s another look. The biggest star, VY Canis Majoris, is 1,000,000,000 times bigger than our sun: ![]() 19. But none of those compares to the size of a galaxy. In fact, if you shrunk the Sun down to the size of a white blood cell and shrunk the Milky Way Galaxy down using the same scale, the Milky Way would be the size of the United States: ![]() |

22. But even our galaxy is a little runt compared with some others. Here’s the Milky Way compared to IC 1011, 350 million light years away from Earth: ![]() |

23. But let’s think bigger. In JUST this picture taken by the Hubble telescope, there are thousands and thousands of galaxies, each containing millions of stars, each with their own planets. ![]() |

24. Here’s one of the galaxies pictured, UDF 423. This galaxy is 10 BILLION light years away. When you look at this picture, you are looking billions of years into the past. ![]() 1 Like |

25. And just keep this in mind — that’s a picture of a very small, small part of the universe. It’s just an insignificant fraction of the night sky. ![]() 26. And, you know, it’s pretty safe to assume that there are some black holes out there. Here’s the size of a black hole compared with Earth’s orbit, just to terrify you: ![]() |

Then sings my soul my Creator God to thee... How great thou art, how great thou art. Then I imagine if God created all of these with his hands then he must be a very big God. I bow in adoration for the Almighty. 3 Likes |

Oh telescope, Keep an eye on my only hope, Lest I blink and get swept off the narrow road, Hercules, you've got nothing to say to me, 'Cause you're not the blinding light that I need. For He is the saving grace of the galaxies… ![]() |
