Just use the slider left and right. Awesome. Something to ponder over our weekend.

Enjoy!

I got the chance to meet Dr. Sagan and speak with him. It was a sudden, unexpected opportunity and one I am humbled to have had. Of course, I was a complete dork as a child (and remain an unapologetic one today), and memorized and watched "COSMOS" a dozen times. He autographed my hardcover edition of the book. I have always felt very small (as I should) when thinking of my place in the world. I'm glad a few of you took the time to truly ponder what that link I posted means...for all our differences, beliefs, attitudes, religions...just everything....we are just a Pale Blue Dot. Go tell your family you love them and then go outside and look up.

That was incredible, I really hope as unrealistic as it may be that we can travel to other galaxies. It would be so incredible to live Mass Effect :laugh:
 
What if our entire universe is just an atom in the toenail of a giant?
 
With the grandkids, when we have walked at night and looked up, both they and I can not help but wonder about what we are seeing. When I have looked into it because of my inquisitiveness nature I am taken back by the fact that IF you could travel at the speed of light, it would ONLY take you 4 light years to reach the nearest star.

That takes some serious comprehension, for while I am glad god has given us this view to appreciate, I am not equipped to do the mental mathematics to go beyond that; which is ok, since I get to enjoy a stick while I look up and marvel.

Excellent link.
