The Universe in perspective


Recommended Posts

It's pretty fantastic huh. I've seen scaling models like this before, and it never fails to astonish me at how "small" we are...

 

And, have you guys ever seen any of the scaling models that go backwards ?

 

Everything's really is so relative

 

:D

I don't know these planets, never good with starwatching whatsoever.

 

Are these planets solid? :3lmao: Jupiter really isn't quite a planet IMO, being a giant gas mass and all that.

Oh what you should really ask yourself is what the all knowing scientists where thinking when the chose to declare Pluto no longer a planet. Simply on its size. So whats next if they chose to compare the Sun and Antares then based on that size comparison the Sun should not be a star. :P

Sorry to nick pic, but............

 

Pluto in the second pic is a lot smaller in comparison to the other planets than in the first pic.

 

That's unfortunate for me to see, because now I don't believe any of the comparisons are true to scale :twitch:

Other planets? Are you inferring that Pluto is a planet? :P

 

When I did my science project some 40 years ago it had Pluto in the solar system as a planet.

Old habits are hard to change.

Thats my story and I'm sticking to it :)
