Yep, the true perspective is hard to visualize when it’s all on one page. I was actually watching something about Planet 9 yesterday. They put it in this perspective... If the sun was the size of a basketball, We would be looking for planet 9 at a distance of 18 miles away and it would be the size of an airsoft pellet.
And yet, astronomers discovered the first planet since ancient times, telescopically, 200 years ago, and have been finding planets in orbit around other stars for the past 20 or so years. Realizing the scale of the universe makes those discoveries even more impressive. :^)
