TOTALLY COOL! Thanks for posting this. This is definately cool enough to pass on to the teenager, who, conveniently is taking astromony this semester.

Interesting how, once you get inside the cell, it soon starts to look just like the stars again. To me, this reaffirms my belief in God the creator. What is it, you will see the world in a grain of sand?

You know what shocked me quite a bit?

According to this, you can't see our sun at all from 10 light years out... not even a pinpoint star. And yet the nearest star to ours is 4 light years away (Alpha Centauri). That means our sun isn't even -visible- to the naked eye throughout 99.999999% of the galaxy!

That would indicate our sun is very dim compared to all the ones we can see at night - and yet ours is a pretty average star, I always thought. Freaky!
