The scale of the universe

WOW, That is super! Thanks Tom! PJ
 
Cruithne, learned something new everyday.
Can teach a very old dog new tricks
 
My question is, how'd that guy write so small? :confuse: :laugh:
 
From AU to th' width of th' universe... Andromeda and Ganymede in th' same envelope.

Maahvelous.
 
Very cool!
Hoping to brave the cold and go peepin through the telescope tonight. Jupiter is pretty cool!
 
FRIGID!!!! but got out the scope. Jupiter's 4 moons to be seen, and the storm bands. Jupiter, Venus, and Mars. All good viewing right now from sundown to about this time when Jupiter and Venus dip below the western horizon. Scanning out there through the stars really makes you feel like there's a lot left to be explored.
 
I love it.

Even learned a new word - <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-size: 14pt">Yoctometer!</span></span>. I need to start working that into conversations. It sounds like a piece of diagnostic equipment.
 
:lol:

I s'pose the pronouncing with accent as yok-TOM-eter would have it sounding like some measuring device.

YOK-toe meter seems about right for a measurement of scale.
