Starship Asterisk*

larger than you'll ever imagine

an interesting question about human imagination, btw. try to imagine two balls with radius of one N times more than radius of other. what maximum of N can you achieve?

I keep digging this thread out to post another video once in a while, but today it's better - interactive flash animation (comes with ads but wth) here.

p.s. how come this is not linked to/from here?

and another one: this subject never gets old, does it.

Gutted, youtube is filtered at my work so I can't partake. Someone tell me what the videos are about IN DETAIL.

IN DETAIL

it says it would take 1100 years to fly around biggest star at 900km/h

Hey makc, 4-thumbs up for that star size comparison video. It helps our feeble brains try to grasp just how big things can get. It might help if they make the pinpoint that is Earth a little bit brighter so we can see it better, but it sure is some comparison!!
