A small image that conveys vastness ...
 
Guys! I love you all!

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!



Today I was with my small group discussing an image I found on the net that made us sit around the screen and just talk for a while ... :)


Perhaps , even if only one of you sees it , my hope is it might entice some of the same feelings some of us had on this side of the world!

A small gift to one, a visual curio to another , a quick glance by some or even a boring image to others, it does not matter but still something I want to share

Super hug to all of you!

It can be opened on this direct link as well if you wanna zoom in or out ...

Scale is wildly off. Sun is 93m mi, Neptune is 2.7bn mi.

Cool but where is the new JWST deep field?!?! I figured that would be like the first thing they do. Bunch of nerds can't even use their own telescope right!

Gets even crazier when you realize that only about 7% of the matter in the universe has coalesced into stars and the vast majority is in the form of different gasses that are only observable in wavelengths like infrared and X-ray. Begs the science questions of not only how do stars form, but also why don’t they.

The scale is logarithmic. Clicking on the source link explains.
