Star Size Nerdery

The GIF is slower, but it gets to bigger stars and becomes more dramatic. My mouth dropped lower and lower with every frame change. I <3 the universe.

I love stuff like this. I have books that do this as well - visually bring you out further and further into space. It's really amazing how vast it is...hard to wrap your head around.

Thanks Select, I love that kind of stuff. I sometimes forget how small I am compared to everything else out there that we've discovered. Kind of puts things in perspective.
