A few pictures that make you change your view of your existence

How often do you think about the great? About the unknown? About the universe? What is it? How did it come about and where does it strive? Is the Universe one, and it is destined for us, in general, to know the answers to all these questions? Surely each person comes up with these questions, even though we usually experience because of absolute trivialities and are inclined to make an elephant out of the fly every day.

Often we take our everyday, routine "problems" too seriously, elevating them to the rank of important and vital. But strangely enough, we suffer from these problems ourselves.

What you will see below, it is quite possible, will force you to rethink our position in this world and in the universe a little. Let's start! Everyone saw the photo and video of the Earth? Our planet is beautiful and incredibly huge, right? But maybe it's worth going even further?

That's where we are in our star system.

Mercury, probably, is hot.

How far are we from the moon?

It seems to you that not very much? Let's compare!

In the cosmic space between the Earth and the Moon, all the planets of the solar system are freely placed.

We continue the comparison

North America often considers itself to be the center of the universe, but its size is in comparison with Jupiter.

And here's what our six planets look like next to Saturn

And what would we see in the sky if the Earth had rings, like Saturn's?

This is a comet

More recently, one of these landed a space drone. This is how a comet looks in comparison with the city of Los Angeles.

But what about the sun?

It's just huge! Look.

And this is how we look from the Moon

And so - from Mars

If someone is watching us because of the rings of Saturn, then we are here

Over 6.5 billion kilometers from Earth ...

We look like this from the orbit of Neptune.

And here is how the Sun looks from the surface of Mars

Again comparison

Here is the size of the Earth in comparison with the Sun.

Now about the number

According to Carl Sagan, the stars in the universe are much larger than the fine grains of sand on planet Earth. And now the fact - the stars make up only 0.4% of the universe.

What does it mean?

And the fact that in the Universe, many stars are much bigger and brighter than ours, for example this one

Let's look at it from the other side

Of all the luminaries known to us, the hypergiant from the constellation of the Great Dog is the largest in size. This star is a billion times larger than the Sun. Billion!

But none of these impressive objects can be compared in size with the galaxy.

Imagine that the Sun contracted to the size of one white blood cell (leukocyte); If we reduce the Milky Way in the same scale, then it will become the size of the US. And this is in comparison with a single leukocyte.

And here is our place in the galaxy!

But the part that we see

Continue to compare the dimensions

Along with many giants, our Milky Way is very tiny.

Let's go even further

One photo, which is named, like the telescope that made it - "Hubble", shows us a myriad of galaxies, each of which consists of millions of stars and planets.

And if you look closely?

Here is one of them - the galaxy UDF 423. It is removed by 10 billion light years from our solar system. Considering it in a telescope, astronomers look at billions of years into the past.
