What the hell? I've never heard of those bigger than the sun... :confused:

P.S I reckon Bill Gates could afford to buy Pluto if it were up for sale

how's taht for adding to the scale of things

That is pretty cool, it does really put into perspective just how insignificant this planet is in the scale of things - at least sizewise. Where did you find the images?

Jonny69 · 9 Jul 2006 at 20:00

Woah there's some big **** out there. I'm hiding.

Sirrel Squirrel · 9 Jul 2006 at 20:01

amazing how insignificant we really are, with that sort of perspective I don't know how people can argue there isn't other life out there.

Brilliant, may I ask where from?

Reminds me of an idea from a Stephen King novel... what if each of the atoms in a blade of grass were a world in its own right, would each world follow the fate of the grass?

I'm surprised at the size of some of these. Uranus is huge!

Gilly · 9 Jul 2006 at 20:02

Thats a fantastic perspective

Never seen it like that before.

OH NO HOW DARE THEY EXIST!

Sorry, just thought I'd make fun of you missing the point

At least I'm guessing the point is we haven't heard of these things (I haven't anyway)

(well, I've heard of a couple)

great pictures there.

really blows your mind when you start trying to comprehend the size of stuff like that

gord · 9 Jul 2006 at 20:03

Its still impossible for me to imagine the size of those..

What is Antares? :confused:

loopstah · 9 Jul 2006 at 20:03

Interesting comparison. I've seen the planets before but never the comparison with other stars.

It's a star in Scorpio (Alpha Scorpii).
