The Solar System is HUGE!
I don't know about everyone else but going through "If the moon were only 1 pixel" was tiring there were points where I just wanted to skip ahead to the end. And that animation is as accurate as you can get to just how big the solar system really is. I never really thought about the solar system before and how empty it is but wow there so much nothing in the universe its crazy once you start to really think about it and then here we are on planet earth billions of people on one tiny planet. It really can't just be us in the whole solar system right? I am sure we have all had that thought. Humanities role seems so small yet so big at the same time, it is because of the human race that we know there are other planets out there we have discovered so many things outside of our "comfort" zone and with all the technological advances we will continue to discover what lies beyond planet earth.

I agree with you on this. The "If the moon were only 1 pixel" thing really was tiring. I think it is because we are just staring at a lot of empty spaces and just mindlessly scrolling as we are looking at the black screen. Humans are curious creatures and how we are always exploring and discovering new things. Because of how advanced we are, we are able to learn and discover new stuff using technology. It really is crazy how the human race seem so tiny compared to the whole universe. The earth itself is very tiny compared to the universe, just imagine how tiny humans are.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it’s crazy how huge space is. As humans we don’t really realize what’s out there, were mainly focused on ourselves. In reality humans are like a crumb to a whole cake. Sometimes we just need to take a step back and look at everything around us. Really realize how little we are compared to the universe. Maybe we will look at things differently and appreciate things more. Humans are too scared to see the real picture. We want everything to be just about us. But it’s not everything around us is so beautiful and crazy how everything works together. We would not be here if it wasn’t for evolution making it sustainable for us to live here. Just look at the bigger picture
