    If the earth were the size of a grape, then the Sun would be 5 ft in diameter, about a block away. Saturn would be the size of an orange around 1 mile away. The nearest star would be over 25,000 miles away.

    The mind boggles

    Uhhh correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't the nearest star be one block away? IIRC our sun is a star is it not?

    You would be correct, if the Sun had not been mentioned, THEN the star mentioned.. :-D

    Sheesh, and my wife says *I* am a nit-picker, lol.

    :stickpoke: :):


    The universe is too big of a thing for a lot of people to wrap their minds around.

    I tried to explain infinity to my kid one time. I approached it from the
    your in a room standpoint. I said ok if the universe is this room, what is
    outside the room?? He said something like another room, so I said, what is
    past that room??



    Not my quote but "Not only is the universe stranger than you imagine, It's
    stranger than you can possibly imagine."
    :cool:

    SO true. My wife thinks I am weird because I sometimes just star up at the stars and ....think. Contemplate. Things like, the light from the closest star (besides the Sun, lol) is over 4 years old. That star could have exploded 4 years ago, and we wouldn't know it yet.

    One of the farrthest object visible to the naked eye is the Andromeda Galaxy, at 2.5 million light years. WOW.

    If that is weird call me guilty.

    To think that the light we are seeing from the closest star is over 4.2 years old and the light from the farthest one is God knows how old, it is pretty mind boggling.
