OT: Our position in the universe - size can matter
« on: July 24, 2006, 11:01:27 PM »
I came across this URL that shows the relative sizes of various stars and planets in earth's "local" universe. Earth vs. stars & planets.

Just shows you that we are indeed a teeny, teeny, tiny part of our universe.

a friend e-mailed this to me and I in turn showed it to my grandchildren.The size comparison makes all of us equal in size to that of a grain of sand.

Not only are we "small" but some of those other heavenly bodies are HUGE!
