The scale of the Universe!
« on: February 11, 2012, 12:16:59 AM »
I found this really cool site where you can zoom through the universe, from the smallest to the largest known objects and see the relative size of things. It's hard to explain what it looks like, but it's awesome, and our favourite star is included, so check it out!

I had to pass that link to Buster's Aunt, and she says "Wow... The universe is way bigger than a basketball.... Very beautiful!"

That reminds me of the variables in the formula for the universe!

Lots of US places on there, I'm like, "I don't even know how big that is!". Minecraft world. XD Very cool.

It's like the Universe doesn't want Buster's Gramma to know how big it is; the link worked fine for me, but won't load for her...

That is a very cool link. I'll have to bookmark it and send it to some folks, as I found it one day with stumbleupon, but forgot to bookmark it so I could show others.

I hold a scrap of paper in the darkness and light it. I watch it burn bright and curl, disappearing into nothingness, and the heat burns my fingers. Where has it gone? What has it become? I cannot shake the feeling that I have witnessed a form of transcendence.
~Commissioner Pravin Lal 'The Convergence'
