I thought this was quite interesting. I made it using Google Earth.

It sort of makes me think how small we all are.

What an offensive question! Watch yourself or I'll throw a straw bale at you!

What a cool project, Kate. It never hurts us to know where we are in the scheme of things...to see the big picture. Well done!

was it easy make the video neko?

i love looking at pics and reading about what we're discovering about the universe, the nasa site has some great stuff, some of the pictures are just so incredibly beautiful. its difficult to get your head round just how massive it is - thats why i'm certain somewhere out there are other forms of life - i mean, just us in such a huge universe? no way Smile

I've always cherished Douglas Adams' description of our place in the universe:

Quote:
Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.

Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think that digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
