I like the reply regarding this: You forget that Man is the astronomer!

Glaucus · 20 Dec 2009 at 15:54

Yes, yes we are..

Nitefly · 20 Dec 2009 at 15:55

Speak for yourselves

These images are always humbling.

aslco · 20 Dec 2009 at 15:55

is it just me or do others actually feel some happiness seeing how insiginificant we are?

J.B · 20 Dec 2009 at 15:59

I've seen this a couple of times but it never gets old.

Feek · 20 Dec 2009 at 16:00

So are you saying that I'm an invisible dot on an invisible dot?

I fancy a piece of fairycake now.

We are all insignificant but some of us are more insignificant than others.

Mr-White · 20 Dec 2009 at 16:04

I'm not insignificant, i'm a quite a happening guy

Pictures like that make me think what is it all for? being in a career that one is unhappy doing. Sometimes I just want to get out of it all and do something I want to do but can't afford to.

I blame capitilism, human greed and the need to impress.

Cheers for the Image Nathan, my daughter was blown away by it and now grasps just how small we all are!

PermaBanned · 20 Dec 2009 at 16:07

I stopped being able to even think about getting my head around the sheer size of some of these things by Beetleguice (or however you spell it).

semi-pro waster · 20 Dec 2009 at 16:08

It's awesome in the truest sense of the word exactly how small and insignficant we are on a cosmic scale yet we can have such a massive impact on those around us.

Randomface74 · 20 Dec 2009 at 16:12

Quite interesting, I wasn't aware of the scale involved. I can cover all of those with my thumb, who's insignificant now!

Macky · 20 Dec 2009 at 16:13

"Cool story bro!"

Radiation · 20 Dec 2009 at 16:23

Here a similar video that was just recently released, it's to scale and goes from earth out to the known universe, great stuff!

Watch in HD!

VY Canis is just... O.O

VERY nice image, I've saved that.

Redgie · 20 Dec 2009 at 16:58

My mum doesn't think I'm insignificant

ScottehBotteh · 20 Dec 2009 at 16:58

Excellent.

So do we win the game when we land people on Majoris ? Or does it start all over again with that being tiny compared to those undiscovered.

Wow that's deep Nathan, you must be having some real revelatory thoughts right now.
