Shows in a brilliant way the magnitude of things around us.

god mars is tiny, but my god those stars are big...

Wow, that's really cool.

I always thought Mars was the same size as Earth for some reason.

Really neat when looking at those pictures how the "wow, that's really big!" objects become dewarfed by the things in the next picture.

We really aren't very much on the scale of things.

Flukey

Interesting. We really are small.

Interesting indeed.

But I wouldn't believe everything that this guy has on his site.

Need I say more?

Fantastic to put those objects into perspective
(whatever about the rest of the stuff on his site)

Would also be interesting to get some perspective on how far those objects are away from each other.

For what it is worth - have a butcher's at one his "Astronomy" articles:

Electric Comets 'n' Stuff

that sucks, means I will have to check the sizes on the net now

seems antares is 700 times the size of the sun

Its well worth looking into the distances between the planets as well ,that can be a real shock , almost every picture of the solar system in any book is grossly inaccurate for the simple reason that an accurate scale of the distance between all the planets cannot be done on any practical size sheet of paper.

For instance if you drew a 1mm diameter circle and called that earth , there would barely be enough room on a sheet of A3 paper to draw in the position of mars in relation to earth in scale.

There are so many ripe for a supernova event... really reckon the EMS of ripe star is going to be missed before the event :mad: To quote the immortal words of whoever out of whatever movie: "Its a big-ass sky!".

NB. the cosmos deems us as disposable , as old and just as recyclable as that movie... whatever it was :eek: Our only hope is to re-invent ourselves - or to get Bruce willis to save us all over again (sorry - just couldn't help myself!)

Well, the size of the stars is correct all right. If you don't believe me, you can look up the information of every single star in Wikipedia.

There are stars even bigger than Antares (biggest in the pics), for instance VV Cephei which has a solar diameter of 1900 whereas Antares has a solar diameter of 500. Our sun has a solar diameter of 1

I hear there's some controversy over Pluto. They're not even considering it a planet anymore apparently. If it's not a planet then what is it???

There was a conference held about this recently, and now it's been decided. Pluto no longer is a planet, the System now consists of only 8 planets.

Pluto is now been classified as a "Dwarf Planet". This new category also enables scientists to categorize other objects in the Solar System as well.
