My calculations were off by a parsec but it was pretty close.
I've always been fascinated by the cosmos and its incomprehensible scale. It's such a fascination that if I meet God and he tells me that I can have one wish, my wish would be to "actually see" the universe in its entirety. That'd be awesome.
My kids are fascinated too. They love it when I talk to them about stars that are bigger than the sun. I love how they listen with eyes wide open as I show them how big the sun would be (beachball) if the earth would be the size of a pepper corn and just how small the sun would be (smaller than a dot) if it were compared to the biggest star (beachball) known to men. So this page is just a sweet sweet visual aide that I could show to them. To top it off, the scale even shows dinosaurs! How neat is that huh?
Props to the creators Cary Huang and Michael Huang.
