That is CRAZY! I looked at that for like 15 min and I am still blown away! I had no idea Halley's Comet was that HUGE! Thanks!

Fricken awesome Manny! Definitely puts things into perspective! Was really cool going all the way out to the universe and then holding the mouse button on the "zoom in" end of the scale and speeding all teh way down to the microscopic level.

The hard drive holding Fred's photos is too large to fit in the picture...:biggrin:

Hahaha, Moose, that was funny...

For me, the biggest surprise was the size relationship of the Neutrino vs. the Planck Length (Quantum Foam/Strings)... wow, that is really really small...

I saw the words "Boeing 747" but I didn't actually see anything that resembled a 747. *picky*

Amazing. I also noticed Everett.

Yeah, you can find it right next to the twine... or the string, whichever suits you LOL.

Wow, my head hurts just trying to wrap around all of that. Especially, since I started back up with astronomy, and doing some astrophotography. They look small through the eyepiece but, when you figure in their distance, and see it on that chart................:eek:

The music is strangely haunting.
