This is really fascinating. I got this from an e-mail from my previous professor. It’s rather dazzling to see it presented this way. Expand the screen and click the images for full view.
Wasn’t that enlightning?
But guess what..
there’s still more beyond our sun.
It’s a big universe!
Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky.
It is more than 1,000 light years away.
Now how big are you?
Now TRY to wrap your mind around this……..
This is a Hubble Telescope Ultra Deep Field Infrared View of
countless ‘ENTIRE’ Galaxies Billions of Light-Years Away.
Below is a close up of one of the darkest regions of the photo above.
Humbling, isn’t it?
Now How Big Are You?
And how big are the things that upset you today?

wow.. those photos are great.
I wonder where your prof got them 
Seeing those planets and all, it makes me feel like an ant. O_o Does that even makes sense?

Shudder! I always find those things terrifying… I don’t like to think of everything as being that tiny! But maybe we’re not tiny, everything else is just huge… Hmmm.. makes my head hurt, all that.

Pictures like that always make me feel incredibly tiny, but I always find them fascinating anyway. It’s totally different reading about the differences in size; Comparing the planets and stars through images makes it all seem much more real.

That really is a humbling email!!
It just goes to show you that we truly are microscopic compared to other stars in the universe. Thank you for sharing that!!
