The Scale of the Universe

The Universe is vast. Let's try to put it in perspective.
I like to think of the Universe in this way. (Page Down)

Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky. It is more than 1000 light years away.

The universe is so vast it is not comprehensible by the human mind. It would be like an ant trying to understand the wonder of the internet. It can't be done.

The universe humbles us, as it should.
