If you’ve ever had trouble grasping the true sizes involved in astronomy and the size of earth compared to other planets and stars, as you will see here. The scales involved are mind boggleing. You just won’t believe how huge and mind blowingly big they are

They say the universe contained “billions and billions of stars” and that we are the only "intelligent" life in the universe.....Its hard to beleive that we could possibly be alone in this universe..The new Google Earth's has some excellent views of space!! See your house from Space too!

The following pictures are one of the best visual pictures that I have ever seen, that shows pretty clearly just how insignificant earth actually is.

Prepare to feel really small:)

Here are the inner planets, the small rocky bodies cloe to the sun and Earth looks pretty big here. Our neighbour is almost our size, but we are the biggest of the bunch.

But even Arcturus is dwarfed by the super-giants, massive red stars that would swallow huge chunk of our solar system. Antares and Betelgeuse, if they were placed at our Sunâs location, would easily envelope Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars ⦠Antaresâ

I've seen these before, fantastic aren't they. Did you know that if you keep gazing at Arcturus it is supposed to help with depression. Strangely, if you do look at it, it does feel nice!

In Australia Venus and Jupiter are particularly bright at the moment, early evening is great to see Venus - she is so amazing at the moment.

Thanks for your hub.
