We are Minuscule.

I just wanted to make this topic to put into perspective how small we really are in comparison to the rest of the universe.
This topic was created with the help of Zuko.

Planets and Stars Comparison


Flight Through the Universe:
Universe Scale:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
There are over 300,000,000,000 stars in the Milky Way alone. There are more than 100,000,000,000 galaxies in the universe. Can you imagine how many stars are in the universe?

30,000,000,000,000,000,000,000


The closest star to us is Proxima Centauri. It's a little over 4 light years away from us. That's nothing though. The Milky Way is an average sized galaxy, it's diameter is 100,000 light years. The observable universe is about 14,000,000,000 light years across. There may be much more though, as the universe is expanding every day.

*One light year = 10,000,000,000,000 kilometers!

Interesting Facts:
If you were to look at a picture of a different galaxy every second, it would take 4,000+ years to get through them all.

There are more galaxies in the universe then grains of sand on Earth.

With current technology, it would take us 80,000+ years to reach the nearest star.

*Will be adding more.

Our minds can't even come close to thinking of an accurate proportional representation of our size within the universe.

This really puts it into perspective. It just shows that somewhere out there, I can't help but think there are other life forms living.
