Here is a picture of Earth, as compared to other planets in our solar system:



Now zoom out, to compare to the rest of the planets:




Zoom out further, to include The Sun:



Now compare our Red Dwarf to other stars

Now compare to some larger stars:



Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky.
It is more than 1000 light years away.

villawagen, So when you meet someone who says,"Do you know WHO I am?" the answer has got to be :-

"No, but I know WHAT you are !" .................................................

wow you Uranus looks huge

[rawk]

I just wish some of these mad Muslim idiots who wish to bomb and slaughter their way to a worldwide caphilate see this.

How insignificant are we!

Clever monkeys who made the grade on an insignificant planet on a lonely arm of a galaxy around a star that pales into insignificance against the celestial big boys.

Allah?

Monkeys have to believe in their own creation, otherwise it means we're all alone.

Oh sod that, lets go try bomb an airport and tip some petrol over ourselves! 72 virgins await.

But, Allah didn't actually said how old they were.....Oh shit!

Great posting!

The words big and small, hot and cold, far and near and many others loose their meaning when you move out of earth!

[villawagen]

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.


The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.
