Wanna feel small??

hi,

i dunno if this has been posted before.

i know if there is anyone in the world who feels small and insignificant, it would be the guys with their eyes fixed into the stars.

but sometimes a little animation will help.

go to the link below, press 'play' and scroll the bar below the image.

The Scale of the Universe

Love it, they could have added a few other galaxy clusters in there, but it's beautiful.

Move the slider the other way to feel really big!

Certainly true! It's difficult to truly understand and comprehend just what you're looking at through your eyepiece sometimes, but when you can get your head around it, it's truly humbling. Always makes me think of Sagan's pale blue dot speech.

Excellent animation, looking through my scope and at the images on this site always makes any problems seem small and insignificant. Good find Ali
