And that' just what she had for breakfast

[–]cielingfancunt 15 points16 points ago

I actually had a really good time looking at the sizes of those planets.

[–]ConnorMH 0 points1 point ago

Stars, too.

[–]wogs94 28 points29 points ago

This your mom joke is so damn intelligent.

[–]yngswd 7 points8 points ago

Joke's on you, my mom had a sex change operation.

[–]Shaolinmunkey 4 points5 points ago

Hey Quagmire, I fucked your dad.

[–]GameAddikt 9 points10 points ago

Haha, Uranus is huge :D

[–]Ghostsoldier37 0 points1 point ago

heh heh in the 5th grade i had to do a planet project and i picked Uranus

[–]brakedust 0 points1 point ago

Did you dig up any dirty bits?

[–]Ghostsoldier37 0 points1 point ago

no

[–]Secret_Agent_Bear 6 points7 points ago

I always thought Mars was slightly bigger than Earth, not smaller.

I didn't think it was much bigger or anything, like Earth X 1.2 or something.

[–]roflocalypselol 0 points1 point ago

Really? One of the reasons it's geologically inactive is its size. And why it's easier to land there due to lower gravity.

[–]Secret_Agent_Bear 0 points1 point ago

I think it has to do with the fact that (aside from Pluto) I assumed all planets past the asteroid belt are bigger than earth. When you lump it with Jupiter, Saturn, and all the other giants it's hard to remember that it's actually kinda small.

[–]roflocalypselol 0 points1 point ago

Still the largest rocky planet. Venus slightly smaller. Mars is considerably smaller. Mercury is tiny.

Inner planets

Solar System

[–]lazenbooby 5 points6 points ago

I thought for a second the one on 4 was Alderon.

Betelgeuse looks like an orange.

[–]lookieausername 7 points8 points ago

It is. You won't hear this coming from a scientist but, Betelgeuse is the largest orange ever. They discovered it a long time ago as after some surface scans they discovered that it is made of pure citrus.

[–]Geotis 1 point2 points ago

I dare anyone to prove otherwise!

[–]emh1389 0 points1 point ago

Now say it 3 times.

[–]Snitters12 0 points1 point ago

clever. i almost skipped over this post because i thought i had seen it before. i should know better.

[–]menageafoie 2 points3 points ago

Liked looking at all the pics then - BAM - you got me!

[–]Kattou 1 point2 points ago

Now we just need one going the other way, through 'bacteria', 'quark' and ending at 'Your penis'.

[–]SIGRemedy 0 points1 point ago

Now that was clever.

[–]Sal_Bandaid 1 point2 points ago

TIL VV Cephei is one big muthafuckin star.

[–]InteractionArtist 2 points3 points ago

Interactive version, which also zooms down to very tiny stuff: Scale of the Universe 2

[–]Samurai-L-Jackson 1 point2 points ago

People who post these charts are the worst thing on Reddit. Just quit.

[–]kerenski667 -1 points0 points ago

People like you are oh so much better... Just be proud of your great personality and sense of righteousness

[–]FruitSaladFreddy -2 points-1 points ago

At least he waited 3 months, unlike a ton of other people on this website. I have no problem seeing a picture every couple months, it's when I see it posted twice a day that annoys me.

The updated one is kind of annoying, if the names where just on the first few slides then we wouldn't have to try and read all of the cramped up text and distinguish what pictures what.

[–]knoxy2001 1 point2 points ago

[–]JLBeiiJ 1 point2 points ago

Related: "Your mom is so big, she has her own lens-effect".

[–]rumnscurvy 0 points1 point ago

Your mum is so big, you can't see her. Photons literally cannot exit her event horizon.

[–]hwamil 0 points1 point ago

I was like, 'wow... how small we are compared to this vast universe. I can't even fathom the concept of these things. This is amazing. The universe is beautiful...'

and then I just got offended

[–]Cranyx 0 points1 point ago

I swore the one on the right said Alderaan.

[–]jrgolden42 1 point2 points ago

Wolf 359... never forget

[–]rumnscurvy 0 points1 point ago

Append after your mom: < VY Canis Majoris < Gabe Newell

[–]EZRedditor 0 points1 point ago

TIL that Wolf 359 is a real place. Mind = Blown

[–]stereotypeless 0 points1 point ago

How I remind myself that I'm not special!

[–]fuzzyperson98 0 points1 point ago

The name of our sun is not "sun".

[–]kravedarknesss 1 point2 points ago

Yes it is. Sol means sun. That's why we live in the solar system.

[–]fuzzyperson98 1 point2 points ago

Errp you're right it's a proper noun.

[–]classy_stegasaurus 0 points1 point ago

[–]Poppa_Mo 0 points1 point ago

Oh man. I went through each panel, looking at the different sizes, being intrigued. Then I get to the last panel. A valid LOL. So rare these days. Thank you.

[–]iameveryoneelse 0 points1 point ago

Where's the fixed with scumbag fat chick?

[–]iNeedNewSneakers 0 points1 point ago

Wow, Uranus is bigger than I thought it was.

[–]Neekha 1 point2 points ago

Where's Pluto on this, huh? WHERE?!

[–]alimx 0 points1 point ago

Cannot stop laughing.. Hahaha

[–]Lhabs 1 point2 points ago

On a serious note, am I the only one that finds it almost imaginable to think of how big these planets are?

[–]Geotis 0 points1 point ago

I can't imagine the intense gravitational forces at work on them.

[–]ryankatz1 0 points1 point ago

I thought it said Alderaan.

[–]Sam_Jam_Goose 0 points1 point ago

Best mom joke I've ever seen/heard.

[–]sketchy123 0 points1 point ago

this is funny...I wouldn't say super funny...but I'm going to give you an up-vote because thats actually really cool.

[–]betoooo 0 points1 point ago

You cheeky bastard

[–]tolkaholic 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one who saw Betelgeuse and thought, "Ah, Ford Prefect is from somewhere in that vicinity"?

[–]cas93 0 points1 point ago

I still miss Pluto. It's kinda odd seeing these things without Pluto...

[–]ismash 0 points1 point ago

Did you make it? It's original.

Did you find it on the internet? It's a repost.

[–]cbrandondrew -1 points0 points ago

I should show my mom this. Maybe she will actually go to the gym instead of saying she will everyday and not doing it.

[–]brakedust 0 points1 point ago

Or you'll be grounded.

[–]Ozzertron 0 points1 point ago

Can you imagine what the world would be like if we had evolved on a planet the size of Betelgeuse?

[–]Reavers_Go4HrdBrn -2 points-1 points ago

Its hard to imagine something that couldn't exist. There could never be life on a world that large.

[–]imgoingleft 0 points1 point ago

Cool, a mom joke.
