26 Pictures Will Make You Re-Evaluate Your Entire Existence

[h=2]1. This is the Earth! This is where you live.[/h]

[h=2]2. And this is where you live in your neighborhood, the solar system.[/h]

[h=2]3. Here’s the distance, to scale, between the Earth and the moon. Doesn’t look too far, does it?[/h]


[h=2]4. THINK AGAIN. Inside that distance you can fit every planet in our solar system, nice and neatly.[/h]

[h=2]5. But let’s talk about planets. That little green smudge is North America on Jupiter.[/h]

[h=2]6. And here’s the size of Earth (well, six Earths) compared with Saturn:[/h]

NASA / John Brady / Via astronomycentral.co.uk

[h=2]7. And just for good measure, here’s what Saturn’s rings would look like if they were around Earth:[/h]

[h=2]8. This right here is a comet. We just landed a probe on one of those bad boys. Here’s what one looks like compared with Los Angeles:[/h]

[h=2]9. But that’s nothing compared to our sun. Just remember:[/h]

[h=2]10. Here’s you from the moon:[/h]

[h=2]11. Here’s you from Mars:[/h]

[h=2]12. Here’s you from just behind Saturn’s rings:[/h]

[h=2]13. And here’s you from just beyond Neptune, 4 billion miles away.[/h]

To paraphrase Carl Sagan, everyone and everything you have ever known exists on that little speck.

[h=2]14. Let’s step back a bit. Here’s the size of Earth compared with the size of our sun. Terrifying, right?[/h]

John Brady / Via astronomycentral.co.uk
The sun doesn’t even fit in the image.

[h=2]15. And here’s that same sun from the surface of Mars:[/h]

NASA

[h=2]16. But that’s nothing. Again, as Carl once mused, there are more stars in space than there are grains of sand on every beach on Earth:[/h]

[h=2]17. Which means that there are ones much, much bigger than little wimpy sun. Just look at how tiny and insignificant our sun is:[/h]

Via en.wikipedia.org
Our sun probably gets its lunch money stolen.

[h=2]18. Here’s another look. The biggest star, VY Canis Majoris, is 1,000,000,000 times bigger than our sun:[/h]


Via youtube.com
………

[h=2]19. But none of those compares to the size of a galaxy. In fact, if you shrank the sun down to the size of a white blood cell and shrunk the Milky Way galaxy down using the same scale, the Milky Way would be the size of the United States:[/h]

Via reddit.com

[h=2]20. That’s because the Milky Way galaxy is huge. This is where you live inside there:[/h]

Via teecraze.com

[h=2]21. But this is all you ever see:[/h]

Via Twitter: lucybrockle
(That’s not a picture of the Milky Way, but you get the idea.)

[h=2]22. But even our galaxy is a little runt compared with some others. Here’s the Milky Way compared to IC 1011, 350 million light years away from Earth:[/h]

Via Twitter: Smokeinpublic
Just THINK about all that could be inside there.

[h=2]23. But let’s think bigger. In JUST this picture taken by the Hubble telescope, there are thousands and thousands of galaxies, each containing millions of stars, each with their own planets.[/h]

Via hubblesite.org

[h=2]24. Here’s one of the galaxies pictured, UDF 423. This galaxy is 10 BILLION light years away. When you look at this picture, you are looking billions of years into the past.[/h]

Via wikisky.org
Some of the other galaxies are thought to have formed only a few hundred million years AFTER the Big Bang.

[h=2]25. And just keep this in mind — that’s a picture of a very small, small part of the universe. It’s just an insignificant fraction of the night sky.[/h]

Via thetoc.gr

[h=2]26. And, you know, it’s pretty safe to assume that there are some black holes out there. Here’s the size of a black hole compared with Earth’s orbit, just to terrify you:[/h]

[h=2]So if you’re ever feeling upset about your favorite show being canceled or the fact that they play Christmas music way too early — just remember…[/h]

Mungu ni mgogoro wewe! Balaa! Huwezi mjua! Na mavitu haya yoooote tumetumia tu 5% ya ufahamu ambao mungu katuwekea kichwani

sijaelewa hata, labda kwa kuwa nilikuwa nafeli jografia

Mbona sasa unanitoa kwenye imani????does he realy exist????????Kama ni hivyo kumbe kuna sayari lukuki na nje ya mfumo huu wa jua tulio nao,BULLDOG hii mihimili ingine inatumia jua hili hili au ni vipi bado nipo mbali kidogo na hii kitu.

Fascinating... sidhani ka kuna kitu fascinating kama hiki kwenye science.. hii ni field ambayo kila binadamu yuko curious kujua whats out there... Movie ya Interstellar inaonyesha vzr concept ya the universe...

Lakini siyo Universe yote, inaoonyesha sehemu tu ya Universe.

Hiyo movie inaweza tumika kufundishia physics, na haswa astrophysics.

And tha is just a tip of the ice..... Na vyote vimeumbwa in six days!! na baada akaumba UFALME wake Allah !!SubaHana Allah. The creator ! hapa sikuweka Udini auupendeleo waweza ita Mwenyeezzi Mungu a God au Muumba.!!God bless you.

Ofcourse hamna anayejua universe yote, tunafahamu kidogo sana kuhusu observable universe... Ile movie wamejaribu kuonyesha sana jinsi mambo kama ya relativity.. kumaster technology kama ile itachukua miaka mingi sana... zaidi ya mia ijayo

Nimeipenda hii presentation... ila naomba ufafanuzi, hivi hizi rings za sartun zinatengenezwa na compound gani? Na hii ya mwishomwisho inayoonyesha milky way gallaxy ikiwa na gallaxy nyingine, picha hii ni kama mtu asimame nje ya gallaxy zote aangalie akiwa nje... sielewi hii inapatikana vipi? je kuna gallaxy inayoonyesha kuwa na viumbe hai?

Great insight.

Nikiangalia Yote haya naona jinsi Mungu Alivyo Mkuu sana.Jehovah Alpha na Omega.Haielezeki Kwa Akili za kibinadamu!

asante Mleta mada kutuonyesha sisi ni sisimizi tuu Mbele ya MUNGU

Based on logic and probability alone it's hard to conclude that we are alone in the universe. And if we are indeed alone, what a lonely feeling? I volunteer to be frozen until some point in time in the future where mankind has would have attained the ability to traverse the universe in a much more efficient manner. It is then that I would offer my services as a living portal into humanity's past.
