These images came from my dad in an email he received.
Kind of cool to see as it helps put our "monstrous" problems into a little perspective.
Earth in relation to some of the smaller planets
Now here's Earth in relation to some of the bigger planets
Earth in relation to our sun
Our sun in relation to other stars
Arcturus in relation to some other stars
Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky. It's more than 1000 light years away but it's still in the same galaxy as earth.
Now, wrap your mind around this one....
This picture is a Hubble Telescope Ultra Deep Field Infrared View of countless 'Entire' Galaxies billions of light-years away.
Here's a close up of one of the darkest regions in the photo above. Each one of these galaxies contains millions of stars like our Sun, or larger stars like Antares.
Humbling, isn't it? Kind of puts things into perspective.

Thanks! Michael is going to LOVE this. He loves the planets and won't believe me when I tell him that Jupiter is smaller than the sun! Cool perspective! Isn't it amazing that God can hear us when we're so tiny?
I used to think that the milky way was some gaseous, nebula type stuff, until I looked at it through high power binoculars in the Uintas on a clear night.
