Comish Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 For a brief moment, I thought I was staring at the empty vastness of Kevin Cosgrove's playbook. Quote Link to comment

GM_Tood Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 The Sombrero Galaxy (M104) is a brilliant white, bulbous core encircled by the thick dust lanes that make up its spiral structure. As seen from Earth, the galaxy is titled nearly edge on: We view it from just 6 degrees north of its equatorial plane. At a relatively bright magnitude of +8, M104 is just beyond the limit of naked-eye visibility and is easily seen through small telescopes. The Sombrero lies at the southern edge of the rich Virgo cluster of galaxies and is one of the most massive objects in that group, equivalent to 800 billion suns. The galaxy is 50,000 light-years across and is 28 million light-years from the Earth. (pic taken from Hubble Telescope) 2 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 What if our solar system is really similar to atoms and we are living on electrons (earth) circling the nucleus (sun)? We then are microscopic (relatively speaking) particles and part of a huge living organism that is part of a mega eco system larger than our brains can fathom. Quote Link to comment
RockyMountainOySker Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I think this is a pretty incredible link showing us the scale of the universe. Goes both ways from the incredibly small to the uncomprehendingly enormous. http://htwins.net/scale2/ - Just scroll in and out. 1 Quote Link to comment
