Sometimes we all need a little reminder

[LukeSkywatcher]

A reminder of just how BIG the universe REALLY is.

We know its BIG but we tend to take BIG for granted as being BIG.........

But the universe isnt BIG.........it isnt even HUGE and it is not even MASSIVE.

Its pretty much mind numbingly off the scale of our level of comprehension.

Sometimes i like to sit back and look at scaled images just to try to get my head around the absolute vastness (its even bigger then that) of the universe:

I was looking at the website with these images on yesterday and it really blew my mind. It is incomprehensible.
