Cool astronomical linky...

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Sure puts things into perspective, doesn't it?

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Yes that we really are bleedin small on the cosmic scale

[Grant Lamontagne]

Certainly makes arguing on the internet seem pretty petty!

It's difficult to imagine something so much bigger than our Sun isn't it. Astronomy is such an interesting subject, they should really push it more at school/college so more people get into it at an earlier stage and it could replace some of the crap you get tought at the moment in schools.

Very cool

You can go insane thinking about space, or the lack thereof.  It's entirely possible that out entire solar system is a speck of sand compared to some other mass that might roll through and really shake things up here, or simply flatten earth in a matter of milliseconds.

I love simple demonstrations of perspective like that, and yes you can go quite mad pondering these things!

I became fascinated with this subject as a young child and still remain so - it's a never ending think hole 

[Grant Lamontagne]

Made me think of this....

Same here...

Is it just me or did the sky just start to feel bigger?

Cool like Mike.

[Screwtape]

Aw man, everything seems a little insignificant now

That was a fun link Mike, thanks!
