very good pics, don't want to appear stupid but is the earth to scale with the sun? We look so small and vulnerable.

Adam,

Earth is to scale alright.

Takes 110 earth's lined up side be side to match the Sun's diameter.

We are pretty small, to say the least...

WOW - where were you to get that shot with the earth in as well - Pluto?? - lol

It does make us seem so small though!
