Andr007 0 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I knew the relationship between Earth and the rest of the planets and the sun. It's fascinating to see that there are stars out there that completely eclipse us. Link to comment

danwilliams 0 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh GCSE physics all over again! but its is still interesting how small and insignificant we are in such a gigantic universe. Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Gee, I used to think being 5'7" was of some sort of significance but seeing those examples... It's funny that our sense of individuality requires us, at varying degrees, to seperate ourselves from eachother by means of our "self-definition". Being placed beside something so much greater than myself within my imagination kinda strips me of the way in which I define myself and everyone else. Suddenly everyone everywhere is standing in the very same place I am. I always get this feeling when a strong thunder storm is passing through the area. As gogo said. It's humbling. Much wisdom to be found in them there pixels Yarasa. Very nice. Very... D.a.r.k. Matters Link to comment

Llama8 8 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Yup, going further up the scale of things from galaxies to clusters http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr162/lect/gc...s/clusters.html to super clusters http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr162/lect/gc...erclusters.html then further up to soap bubbles/voids http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr162/lect/gclusters/soap.html and finally to great walls: http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr162/lect/gclusters/gwall.html Finally, a use for my degree. Oh & that pic that Katran gave was of an active galaxy. It's just like a normal galaxy (like ours), but the super-massive black hole at it's core is actively eating stars/gas, unlike our own which is currently inactive. More pretty pics here: http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr162/lect/index.html /lscture. Link to comment
