Planet and star scales



I posted this last year, but I thought I'd post it again as it's an interesting video. This makes a nice companion video to Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot." On scale of stars the earth fades into nothingness. (2 min.)

I saw this long time ago but wasn't able to post a comment. I was really fascinated by the different sizes of stars billion miles away from us. And we though that the sun was big. So not true!

WOAH! Sir don't forget to post here or in the Gmail account that presentation about the Universe that you showed us last year. That was amazing!
