I came across this and my jaw hit the floor. I thought Betelgeuse and Antares were big but this is mind blowing.

Hi Orin

Yeah, i saw that.. but i thought the marble photos in my post give a even better perspective.. As you can see the big stars in perspective with our sun, and then see the really big stars next to the stars that make our sun look small. And then see the really big ones, that make them look tiny.. Mind blowing to think that there are Black Holes that make Antares look like a Dot...

When I was a kid I used to compare an atom to the solar system and the molecule to the galaxy. Maybe the universe is just another atom to some broader life kind.
