- ezzonguard, on 02/10/2008, -2/+172wait for it people, no ADHD, very impressive
- marktheshark, on 02/10/2008, -2/+151It's always nice to be shown how insignificant you are.
- Pradko, on 02/10/2008, -2/+141dont ***** with VY canis majoris kids
- ElbertF, on 02/10/2008, -1/+133You can do the same thing with cells, molecules and atoms and feel really big!
..My theory is that we're exactly average. Heck, if infinity goes both ways everything is average. Hmm.. - bigdirtymoose, on 02/10/2008, -5/+105So where does Xenu live?
- inactive, on 02/10/2008, -2/+74It's not how big you are; it's what you do with it.
- moletimer, on 02/10/2008, -5/+74Wow. That really makes you think about how insignificant we all are in comparison to how huge the universe is.
- dicklogan, on 02/10/2008, -1/+68Betelgeuse! Betelgeuse! Betelgeuse!
- Frezzle, on 02/10/2008, -0/+65thanks i was looking at the picture then Hey lets go ride bikes!
- Swarms, on 02/10/2008, -1/+58I can see my house from here.
Seriously though, it's impressive, but this loses it's impact as soon as the Sun is out of the picture. Without some form of comparison, it's just this ridiculously big star is this much bigger than this other ridiculously big star. - bowe, on 02/10/2008, -3/+55http://digg.com/general_sciences/Charles_Ray_Eames ...
I submitted this a while ago but it didn't get any diggs. Maybe people viewing this article will be interested. It's a short film called Powers of 10 by Charles and Ray Eames (designers of the Eames chair). The video goes from the subatomic level, all the out to the outer reaches of the universe. Each 10 seconds represents a power of 10. - SkinnerBox, on 02/10/2008, -4/+54That was disorienting.
- dasutin, on 02/10/2008, -0/+45Knowing that VY Canis Majoris is the largest known star ever recorded... its only 5,000 light years from Earth.
- marrstu, on 02/10/2008, -2/+38Dugg because I was expecting that video that has been posted several times, which I believe stops at Beetlejuice .
- KingBabi, on 02/10/2008, -1/+34It's a .gif. Classy.
- ORMEs, on 02/10/2008, -3/+33We're definitely alone. Yep......
- inactive, on 02/10/2008, -1/+30At that scale sizes are pretty much incomprehensible. Humans can't really understand how big that is no matter how many times you see it. It's like trying to picture a googolplex. You just know it's really really ***** big.
- makkaveli19, on 02/10/2008, -0/+27i kinda wish that was what she said... :(
- CaptainM4d, on 02/10/2008, -3/+27***** you. This is pretty damn cool.
- inactive, on 02/10/2008, -0/+20Its 2 billion times the size of our sun.
two. billion. - Frnnkdlxx, on 02/10/2008, -1/+21Don't make fun of my sun!!!!
- smurf22, on 02/10/2008, -4/+23I can only imagine the gravity on those planets.
- JayBabs, on 02/10/2008, -1/+19I salute you sir.
- Himself, on 02/10/2008, -0/+18video: http://digg.com/educational/the_scale_of_some_stuf ...
- Namaha, on 02/10/2008, -0/+18Until you look at an atom.
- jkleinfeld, on 02/10/2008, -3/+21Screw Iraq, we need to go to VY Canis Majoris for all our energy needs!
- MasterGrief, on 02/10/2008, -1/+18People like this sort of thing. Makes them think.
I certainly don't have a problem with it. - inactive, on 02/10/2008, -0/+16You trolls don't even try anymore
- inactive, on 02/10/2008, -1/+17Thank you Deepy Deepington.
- Namaha, on 02/10/2008, -0/+16The last picture shows VY Canis Majoris compared to our sun.
- brutusx, on 02/10/2008, -1/+16"Old...." comment is old
- brutusx, on 02/10/2008, -0/+14Just the gravity on that biatch would turn us back into that primordial ooze *****! I would love to see something evolve on that one.
- ligyron, on 02/10/2008, -1/+15And, our Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light years across. So there are probably much larger stars in our galaxy alone. Also, that's just the Milky Way--which is just one of billions of galaxies in the observable Universe
- burnttoast11, on 02/10/2008, -4/+17It's my first time, so dugg
- mecenday, on 02/10/2008, -0/+13Good news everyone! When you watch it in a loop the Earth is huge.
- Lunarbunny, on 02/10/2008, -1/+14http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_Blue_Dot
- KingGorilla, on 02/10/2008, -0/+13Well we'd evolve with super strong spines to combat the gravity.
- billski, on 02/10/2008, -1/+14what if you constantly did cartwheels? would that work?
- bitterman316, on 02/10/2008, -1/+13of uranus ?
- Laminarcissus, on 02/10/2008, -1/+13Beetlejuice!
- gllopc, on 02/10/2008, -1/+12You repeated yourself. Nice.
- whyufail, on 02/10/2008, -1/+12Sure we would. Think about our size in comparison to this planet, yet we've still managed to ***** it up. We would just continue to breed and consume with abandon and it would take slightly longer for the human parasite to hollow out the world, that's all.
- kickelephant, on 02/10/2008, -1/+12(cough) Betelgeuse
- Uranium118, on 02/10/2008, -1/+12On Jupiter, you would weight 2.5 times as much a on Earth, it would be difficult to walk normally. On the Sun, you would be unconscious because the heart can't pump the blood up to the head with so much gravity. On the largest known star, you would probably be crushed to death.
- gllopc, on 02/10/2008, -2/+13You repeated yourself. Nice.
- BigFuzzyArchon, on 02/10/2008, -4/+15we are nothing
- megaton, on 02/10/2008, -4/+14Holy. *****.
- ChaosProfessor, on 02/10/2008, -1/+11a space ship that kind of looks like a DC-10?
- tuqqer, on 02/10/2008, -0/+10Florida.
