That means that...

our whole solar system...

could be, like...

one tiny atom in the fingernail of some other giant being.

This is too much!

Initially I didn't realize it was a gif. I was quite disappointed for a few seconds.

I remember seeing a game type thing like this, you could zoom in an out and see right from our estimated universe size down to the size of a string in string theory.

I would like to see something like that be going smaller from Human, Cell, Atom, Electron, etc etc etc

Basically, nothing you ever do in your entire life matters, ever.

this video is really great about the perspective of how small we are. Its about the picture hubble telescope took, none the less amazing.

This terrified and excited me at the same time. I have a terrection.

Seen the video this gif is made from a couple of years ago. It's much better imo :/ not as fast phased and brings you on a bigger "mind blown"-journey.

When I see stuf like this I always wonder what the maximum population carrying capacity would be for planets like Jupiter or TrES-4 if they were inhabitable.

I would go as far to say that if you combine gifs of this with images of this, this is the most reposted thing ever on Reddit.

Apart from perhaps inane askreddit questions.

Mind succesfully blown.

I have never felt so small.

Now please tell me how important and significant you are

These things are 50-50 for me. I love them because I love science, space in particular, and it IS mind blowing to see how much more there is than just our little solar system; but then I start getting a crippling fear of just how insignificant I (and humans as a whole) are, and that just freaks me out because then I realize "Hell, as insignificant as people are in relation to the entire cosmos, I'm not even an important person! Even though we're all going to fade into nothingness, my mark on history will be so much less than so many other people." Makes me sad...

The last frame confused me. It says our sun but if our sun as a star, then how can it be larger than what was just said to be the largest known star?

Can they do another version of this for all those supposed alternate Earth's we have found and their sizes? Is there one already?

heyyrachelheyy · 2 months

Just keeps getting bigger!

moogoesthecat · 2 months

I find it both ridiculous and immensely naive to suggest we are the only ones in a universe of potentially infinite size and, furthermore, one we know relatively nothing about.

Srednasty · 2 months

Makes me wonder what kind of creatures are out there and possibly how f'n big they are!

I saw Betelgeuse and remembered I need to finish reading Hitch Hikers Guide To The Universe. Thanks :)

And just to think that this is just in the immediate area around us. The real mind-blowing part is how many OTHER galaxies there are.

Jitte · 2 months

It wasn't. Why?

Because scale is long lost after the second star.

So small...

This has been a successful repost :) I love reddit.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

EffingTank · 2 months

And this is why I can't believe that even if there was a god, he could care about a small race of 7 billion beings on less than a speck of dust in an infinite universe.

justdowntheroad · 2 months

It would blow my mind, however it's reposted so much that it doesn't anymore
