These models made my head spin.
Open them in order and follow the bouncing ball.
It compares the earth's size with our immediate neighbours.
Just had to share.

That's just nuts.
Cool, but nuts.
What boggles this ol' mind, is not just the inkling of the relative
size, but that there are billions of them suckers floating about.

Hey Robatoy,
So, as long as we're off topic have you ever seen Jupiter and/or
Saturn and their respective moons? It's been a while since I could
view Jupiter but we were checking out Saturn several nights around the
end of March and into this month. One night we could not see any of
its moons and I thought they may be aligned longitudinally with us-
both front and back.
For those who have never seens Saturn's rings through a scope you need
to check it out - it is a very cool sight. I also heard that soon the
rings will be at an angle that makes viewing them very difficult.
Have not substantiated that, but I'll still check it out as often as I
can.

Robatoy,
Thank you for posting such an interesting comparison. It was as you
say head spining (or mind boggeling). If your not already doing so,
you might wish to watch the Science channel on Tuesday nights. Its all
about astronomy.

Cool! Where did you find them?

Well there of billions of them suckers floating about our galaxy.
And there are billions of galaxies in our universe.
And there are (possibly) infinite universes in existance.
Couple that with infinite time..
However, there is still no reason to believe that we aren't the only
intelligent life.

Now that I think about it, the question should have been: How did you get
CLOSE enough to take the pictures?

Please point out the intelligent life. I've not seen it on this planet in a
few years. Oh, wait, I think it see it clustered around a place called
Washington DC.
