Interesting!
Then when you factor in our solar system into the galactic scale, not many can even comprehend the vastness.

Well done.
I feel so insignificant now.
Maybe we all need to feel that way.

Most people can't start to comprehend the number of stars in just 1 galaxy, let alone the universe.

We're tiny enough to live on one, and to think of ours as huge. Once you realize the scale of things, even when just factoring Earth, and the total human impact on the planet since humans first walked here, and then look at the radical Left's narrative of "global warming", you begin to get a scale of just how stupid the Left really is... If earth didn't tolerate us here, we would be shaken off like fleas.

https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/9...p;fit=crop&height=675&width=1200I think this is the right pic.............. someone said that this Webb Telescope image covers the amount of sky blocked by a BB held at arms length... Don't know if that's accurate or not...

For all the other engineers who do math for a living, I would like to say, "The proportional spacing between spheres was wrong."
As that logger might say: hint, from earth, the sun and moon are about the same angular size.

As that logger might say: hint, from earth, the sun and moon are about the same angular size. The distance is WAY off… if we were that close “proportionately” it looks as though the sun would be taking up at least 1/4 of the daytime sky probably closer to 1/2.
