Now for some perspective on space...

Some time ago, I came across a nice web page where they pretended the moon was one pixel and then you could travel along the solar system on that scale. The site seems to be down, right now, but here's the link: http://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixe...ystem.html

Also, if you're into that logarithmic scale business, enjoy:
(again, this is huge and needs to be seen at 100% for better effect)


And they say we're special... Tongue

Fantastic! Difficult to even imagine anything being that big...

Do you think the universe is infinite, or do you think it has boundaries?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
