steve25805 126,021 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 This is the size of the Earth compared to the Sun... Yet this is the size of the Sun compared to the largest known star... The differences in scale are mind-bogglingly vast. 2 Link to post
steve25805 126,021 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 This is the Earth compared to Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system... 1 Link to post
steve25805 126,021 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 These are the comparable sizes of the planets in our solar system in comparison with each other.... The planet next to Earth and almost, but not quite, the same size is Venus. The next one along is Mars. Then Mercury before you get to tiny Pluto which is no longer regarded as a full planet anymore. 1 Link to post

I guess being a born and raised praire boy is why lol I guess I was lucky. Born and raised in the southwest peninsular of England with many dozens of good beaches all within an hours drive. I spent many a happy childhood day on the beach jumping over the waves and sometimes being bowled over by them. I love waves. 1 2 Link to post

steve25805 126,021 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 This is the only image yet taken of an actual black hole.... It lies at the centre of the "nearby" galaxy M87, which is 55 million light years away. That's a close neighbour in galactic terms. This black hole contains as much mass as 6.5 billion suns. The bright disc around it is light being bent around it by it's immense gravity. 2 Link to post
