Ok, so how big is our planet Earth? I mean, compare to other planets… In the following pictures, you’ll start to appreciate how small earth is!!!

THANK YOU!!!! How fabulous!

Re: ...and we'll get a room just as soon as you find one with a large enough radius...

So...

You are saying my really fat ass... needs more room?

verum, you... are in deep merde!

Yeah... Kate is real sensitive about her ass...

If I were you, verum... I'd find an undisclosed location to hunker down!

The concept you are talking about was first pioneered by Chris Burden a California performance artist.

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

To really put things in perspective, all the stars under discussion here are in our own "Milky Way" galaxy. When we look beyond our own galaxy -- in any direction -- what we see is something like this:

There are are only a dozen or so "nearby" stars from our galaxy (the objects showing "diffraction spikes") in that view. All of the other objects are galaxies! (And, many -- if not most -- of them are much larger than our own!)

WOW!

I saw this thread earlier (post 22) but if you had not pinged me I would have missed the rest of the great post that followed mine.

Thanks!

Ping to a real "creation" article -- that really puts things in this universe in perspective...

Thanks, Doomonyou, for a great thread! (This one gets both a FR and a "favorites" bookmark!!)

Flirting again are you???? I can't leave you alone for a minute!

[verum ago]

will do, Mr. Cheney, as soon as I pry myself out of orbit

[Doomonyou]

Thanks, Doomonyou, for a great thread!

You're welcome. You know, it is my goal in life to post great threads here at FR, and it looks like after six years I finally got my first one!

[Doomonyou]

So a nice little astronomy thread has degenerated into a T &A Thread...

(Not that there's anything wrong with that!)

Neat video.

Honey, you can have him back... It was Wham-Bam-Thank-You-Mam! The he was out the door...

He just gave me a quickie... Then he said he was going fishing with Carey...

He was here... But after we cleaned the fish, he said he was going dancing...

We dance one dance... Then he left with that table wench...

He just gave me a fast peck... Then he left saying he need a smoke...

We just smoked... once. Then he said Dr. Frankenstein was expecting him...

You let him play with your knockers... Then let him go off to see Wick and Jan?
He was here just for a sec... Said he had to go sit up with a sick friend.

I was so dizzy... when he showed it to me! Afterward I fainted and awoke to find myself all alone...

Millee, babe! Where ya been... I've been looking all over for ya!

Look away, look away! This... could get nasty!

Oh shucks! Bloodshed... makes me puke!

When I was in the 9th grade I did a book report on the "Planet of the Apes" by Pierre Boulle.

I think that is right. The planet was originally of the system Betelguese, and for the life of me I could not pronounce the name.

I'm pretty sure that was the book, but I am getting long in the tooth now, so perhaps I am confused, but definitely I did not know how to pronounce "Betelguese" until Will Robinson did say it on that 1960s TV program.

I hope that I got some part of this post right.

What is ever more amazing is, if you take the sum number to the size of the universe and then go to the smallest object known to man, the zeros going in the direction to the smallest object is greater than the number of zeros going in the direction of the size of the universe.
What I mean is, let's take man as the middle or center, if you go in the direction of the smallest known object to man, the sun number has a greater amount of zeros in it's sum than if you go in the direction of going out into the universe.

[Doomonyou]

Thanks for the headache, but I'm with ya on that one. Can you put that in an equation?

Just wait... until you read post 94! I really take him to the woodshed!

Right, right. Just don't spill the beer... ya hear, Millee?

A few years ago I came across a web sight that showed the math to all of it, I can't find it know, but, I always thought that as you go out father into the universe the sum number get's greater than the number you would get if you went in the other direction down to the smallest object know to man.
My brother and I thought about that movie MEN IN BLACK were you had Orion's belt, and at the end of the movie, all it was is our Universe in a ball, and the larger life alien life than ours was playing marbles with our universe.
Is it plausible ? to think ? that as we look in a electron microscope, that maybe the quarks and atoms could be smaller universe like ours ?
