The scale of the universe

Interesting, you can use the left/right keys instead of your mouse.

Pretty slick implementation. It's been done a few different times in a few different styles and media, but it's always cool and thought-provoking.

Yea, kinda humbling actually.

watched a video the other week showing how small we really are.

Video on Black Hole Comparison is one of my favorites.

Cool, 200 BILLION fucking suns, that's just nuts. One wonders how close you could get to it before your space-vehicle no longer can produce enough thrust to get you out of there.

I want to play Kerbal Space Progam suddenly. (that music is from there. )

I was scrolling through slowly just to let it all sink in, it's indeed pretty crazy just how vast it is.

You can also see why neutrinos don't really believe that matter even exists.

"Oh look, a planet. I'mma fly right through dat."

Interesting that the Mine Craft world is as big as Neptune. I wonder if GTA V is bigger than Mine Craft?

Holy SHIT! Total human height compared to the massive suns!

I actually thought the minecraft world was unlimited (well as far as the server can handle I guess). Now I want to actually see what happens if you hit the end. That's going to be a very long ride.

They did a decent update not that long ago, the server program is much more stable now so been playing a lot.

Virtually no mass by comparison though.

Earth is virtually no mass by comparison, and we're the densest planet in this solar system.
(Solar System: 98.6% Sun.
Jupiter is 70% of the leftover.
The other three large gas giants, asteroid belt, lightweight comets, and iron/silicon-heavy inner planets make up the remaining 0.42% of the total mass.)

a warning about the music that plays automatically, would've been nice

 

[PlanetJosh]

I'm in it for those nebula images

 

[foghorn67]

Head hurts now. Tharxk Y0ks.

"Space," it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindboggingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."

Don't forget to check the other direction - how small things get.

All the way from OP's wang up to OP's mom.














j/k, probably.:awe:

 

[ctbaars]

At the one end, is that fuzzy donut Tump's hair?

 

[SSSnail]

There was a perfect opportunity to insert "your mom" at the end of the spectrum there.

 

[DigDog]

i can't help thinking of this

 

[Miramonti]

Just because I'm so small doesn't make the universe so big. Bring it on.

 

[z1ggy]

That was pretty cool.
