We are but a mere blip in the universe...

Notice that our own sun is just one pixel in this one.

I'm not getting any images. :/

We are but a mere red 'x' in our universe, which, by the way, is rectangular. ;)

It's so small I can't even see it. :eek: :gomer:

Blip.

[ferrarigod]

I'm not getting anything to show up. Is this like the hidden links on the YFDS homepage???

This explains the "Image Test" thread.

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour.
It's orbiting at ninety miles a second, so it's reckoned,
The sun that is the source of all our power.

If ya use the root URL (http://us.f13.yahoofs.com/bc/4473df03_14c64/bc/perspective/Pic1.jpg), it appears that Yahoo is denying access to the image. Bummer. :(

Hmmm... I thought I set it up to share.

I've done a 'planet walk' with my daughter every fall through our neighborhood since she was three.
The top of a yellow fire hydrant near our house suffices for the sun, and we select small nuts, poppy seeds, etc., to scale for the planets (earth is a mustard seed, IIRC). The distance to pluto is bit over 1 1/2 miles. Quite an eye-opener.

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour.
It's orbiting at ninety miles a second, so it's reckoned,
The sun that is the source of all our power.

"So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth"!

The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace,
where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees.
Yo Ho it's hot, the sun is not a place where we could live.
But here on earth there'd be no life without the light it gives.

We need its light.
We need its heat.
We need its energy.
Without the sun, without a doubt, there'd be no you and me.

The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace.
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees.

The sun is hot.
[It is so hot that everything on it is a gas, iron, copper, aluminum and many others.]

The sun is large.
[If the sun were hollow, a million earths could fit inside, and yet the sun is still only a middle-sized star.]

The sun is far away.
[About 93,000,000 miles away, and thats why it looks so small!]
And even when its out of sight, the sun shines night and day.

The Sun gives heat.
The Sun gives light.
The sunlight that we see.
The sunlight comes from our own sun's atomic energy.

[Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. The heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and helium!]

The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace.
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees.

This is kinda cool too (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060807.html)
