so, do christians look at this and think nothing of it?

 

I don't see how this is at all incompatible with my Christianity really. If anything it increases my awe for the creator.

I don't mean to offend you Iain, but your Christianity surprises me a little. I'm just curious to what extent you practice you're religion.

I guess I always thought your quotes from the Bible might be in jest.

If you would rather not discuss it you don't have to. It merely raised an eyebrow.

My dad is an Astronomer, and this stuff surprises me all the time.

that is unbelievable

i was listening to The wheel by Muziq at the same time which made it even better

I wish i had been born 400 years from now. assuming humans exist, we will have colonies on other planets by then. that shit would be so idm

this might be the most idm pic i've ever seen

Why the fuck isn't VY Canis Majoris a black hole by now? There are much tinier stars, even ones that were once the size of our own star, that implode into themselves...

Jokes

polack jokes?

how many polas does it tak to scre in a libghtublb 1 to hol it 900000 to turn house in a circles

if you think that's bad you should see people trying to show the distance between all these planets, it's absurd.

it's a main sequence star - at the wrong stage in its lifecycle for that

later in its lifecycle it will start to accumulate more heavy elements and that's the beginning of the end

this shit is awsm

there is a balance that comes from the stars own gravity pulling in and the pressure pushing out that is created inside the star due to nuclear fusion

Antares Auto-Burn

but seriously...

this notion of traveling across these vast distances only seems absurd in a rocketship. once you hop in a UFO you can skip across galaxies in seconds i reckon

UFOs are extradimensional, no superluminal speed required.

I remember when I was in second or third grade and we all cut out circles from construction paper representing our favorite planets. Then we went outside and cut a huge circle that the entire class could fit in that represented the sun. Blew my little mind.

And it continues to do so. Even looking at a simple chart like this, it's hard to really comprehend the sheer size of a tooth pick compared to the largest known star.

Love it.

woah, the planets part was like ok whatever but then seeing the sun vs betelguese and betelguess vs those even bigger stars :omg:

so if you left earth but you were just moving at a walking speed, could you even get to jupiter before you died (of old age)?

haha edited to fix betelguese and i still can't remember how to spell it

The distance from the Earth to Jupiter is 365 million miles. So no.

Hogwash!

this makes me think that there is definitely other intelligent life out there....and space cash. (im cool because i referenced the popular american cartoon, south park)

there is most definitely life somewhere out there, it's almost impossible for there not to be.
