ok, I resized..thanks..

Wow, that was totally mindblowing. Thank you for sharing.
And to think how big our sun seems to us. I wonder what size are the planets with the biggest star? If they are also huge, could beings on those planets be huge, too? Just imagine our planet getting pinged by two big fingers in a marble game! Seriously, mind blowing.
Remember the movie MIB? At the end of the movie it showed aliens playing a game of marbles..inside of each marble is a galaxy. Can you imagine if that could be really true? Hey, no one say that it isnt true until they can prove it...

Nice find! I love how humbling perspective can be. Thanks for sharing!

I remember the first time I saw that picture. I recall thinking... "Wow, our universe reminds me of atoms and particles."
Even though these pictures display something that makes you minuscule and irrelevant in the whole of things.
All one has to do is look out side your window and around yourself, and you will feel that everything that happens is that much MORE relevant.
If as far as we can see there is existence of anything- and from what we can see- space follows the same pattern, Galaxies, Black holes, quasars, super novas, Nebula, stars and planets. And as far as we can see that- it is just those things.Everything seems to go in circles in space ie: orbits, axis spinning, Spiral galaxies. And if you look at the smallest portions of nature- you see... even the smallest of things follow the same law.
Sorry last day of college for the year I'm mind drained.

The Universe is awesome... Such beauty that can take our breath away, and night terrors that will mkae our worst nightmare look like a disney movie.

I wish we could hurry up and get the warp drive breakthrough, or be contacted.. I want to take a swing around the local galactic neighborhood.

I want to see Alpha Cnetauri before I die.
