Mind Officially Blown

I was curious how Earth stacked up in relative size to other heavenly bodies in the galaxy and universe. Found this very cool website: http://www.kiroastro.com/writings/perspective

I knew our planet was pretty dinky compared to the sun, but I had no idea how small our sun was compared to other stars. Wow. Freaking amazing.

And I like the fact that the website author mentioned that our sun is the ONLY star out of the billions upon billions in the universe known to support life.

Our sun is the only sun known to support life.
We don't know how luck we are.

Awesome isn't it? Makes you feel small by comparison.

 

[ignerntbend]

It should make us feel large!
