Demystifying the status of the earth in the universe, I was shocked to see the whole person.steemCreated with Sketch.

This is the contrast between our planet and the moon. A planet is as big as 49 months.

Continue to zoom in one level: Neptune has 58 Earth and Uranus has 65 Earth.

Saturn is equivalent to 830 Earth, and Jupiter is 1300 Earth!

Zoom in one more level, the sun is as big as 1.3 million Earth!

The earth is already a grain of sand in front of the sun.

Sirius! ....

Beihe three...

In this picture, the earth has only one pixel....

Big Horn Star...

At this time, the earth can't see it... because the earth is too small!

Zooming in again, the stars and the Taurus appeared....

In this order of magnitude, our sun has only one point!

Here is the first class of Orion!

Here is the big star

Continue to look down and find your own comparison!

V509 Cassiopeia (Cassiopeia), KY Cygni (Cygnus), Mu Cephei (Fairy Throne)!

V354 Cephei (V354 Cepheus), VV Cephei (VV Cepheus), the biggest blue one, called Gemini! third biggest!

Before 2012, VY Canis Majoris (Greater Dog VY Star) has been sitting on the largest planet ever. The volume is at least 8 billion times the sun!

The largest star is currently known: Shield UY! The volume is 21 billion times the sun!

So, do you think this is the end?

This is just a point in the galaxy!

This is the largest known "star" of our planet. The shield UY is only 6,000 light years away from the Earth. The Milky Way has a diameter of 100,000 light years. This is not even 1/10 of the Milky Way!

(The picture above is the Milky Way)

The Earth is just a negligible asteroid for the Milky Way.

But on our scale, all the stars you can observe are still in the Milky Way.

Let's take a look at what's in other galaxies?

Space Telescope Hubble, aiming its camera at a small corner in the night sky.

Even all of this is just a wave of light...

You must be surprised now?

Close your eyes and rest for a while.

Now answer the following questions:

  1. Are you still seeing it?

  2. Do you believe that alien intelligence exists?

  3. Do you think there are other planets that are suitable for intelligent life?

  4. Do you think the modern science we have learned is really reliable?

  5. What do you think now is the goal of life and the meaning of life?

  6. Are you still happy for the gathering of matter?

  7. Are you still obsessed with the insignificant self?

  8. How do you define life and death?

No matter what your answer is, we and the earth we live on.

Even our huge galaxy is really just a dust in the Daewoo.

What we are used to, the life we ​​are used to, we are determined to believe in science,

Should we rethink and reposition it?

A famous photo above, in 1990, when Voyager 1 was about to fly out of the solar system, at a distance of 6 billion kilometers from the Earth, NASA ordered it to look back and took 60 photos. On one of them, it just includes the earth - the bright spot in the picture.

Astrophysicist and famous science writer Carl Sagan said this famous saying in the photo above:

At this little point, every person you love, everyone you know, everyone you have ever heard, and everyone who once existed, lived there for the rest of your life.

It brings together all the joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economics, every hunter and searcher, every hero and coward, the creator and destroyer of every civilization, every king and farmer Every pair of young lovers in love, every hopeful child, every parent, inventor and explorer, every teacher who teaches morality, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader Every saint and sinner in the history of mankind lives here—a dust that floats in the sun.

Thanks for the beautiful post. When it gets to the size of not being able to see the earth, and later the sun, I felt small in comparison, yet our love for each other is huge in size.

If you have seen the three bodies, I believe that there will be feelings.
