Putting it All in Perspective!
« on: February 06, 2008, 09:02:31 AM »
I got this in an email today, thought I'd share it.

THIS is really fascinating - it's rather dazzling to see it presented this way.







  I CERTAINLY THOUGHT THIS WAS ENLIGHTENING. BEYOND OUR SUN , IT'S A BIG UNIVERSE. 


small print= Jupiter is about 1 pixel in size, earth is invisible at this scale


small print = Jupiter is invisible at this scale, sun =1 pixel


  ANTARES IS THE 15TH BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE SKY, IT IS MORE THAN 1000 LIGHT YEARS AWAY. 

NOW HOW BIG ARE YOU? 


NOW TRY TO WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND THIS......... 

   THIS IS A HUBBLE TELESCOPE ULTRA DEEP FIELD INFRARED VIEW OF COUNTLESS 'ENTIRE' GALAXIES BILLIONS OF LIGHT-YEARS AWAY.



  BELOW IS A CLOSE UP OF ONE OF THE DARKEST REGIONS OF THE PHOTO ABOVE.



HUMBLING, ISN'T IT?

And yet, Someone knows how many hairs are on your head, and not even a single sparrow dies apart from His will!  (Mt. 10:29-31) 

  NOW HOW BIG ARE YOU?

  AND HOW BIG ARE THE THINGS THAT UPSET YOU TODAY?

  AND HOW BIG IS YOUR GOD?

KEEP LIFE IN PERSPECTIVE.



AND DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF! IT'S ALL UNDER CONTROL.

 STILL SOME SAY THERE IS NOT A  GOD!

Thanks for posting that Quick!

You know what blows my mind? They say that space goes on forever. You would have to be crazy to think we are the only living beings in the universe. If space did end somewhere I hope some one would put up a sign saying it all ends here. Dale
