I saw this earlier today, and what can I say I was “put in my place” so to speak. I had never actually sat and thought about this but, now I realize the Sun really isn’t that big after all…
I’m all about the world of the unknown and pretty open minded to theories of the universe. But when I saw this it kinda put things into perspective. Most people can understand vastness of the universe and that it’s and endless, continually expanding mass. But do they really? I was one of those people. Sure you see pictures of the solar system, Milky Way galaxy, and pictures of far off stars and nebulae. But they are rarely, if ever, compared to us, and the planet Earth. Needless to say after seeing this, saying that we are specs is a mere understatement, IMO. I don’t know I’m just finding it hard put it into words, but check it out (I also really like the music, so if you know it, hit me up):
