I like the updated version of that. It's nice that it gets updated as we discover more things.
I've seen that and similar things before, but it still blows my mind. Makes it seem funny how big of a deal we humans generally think we are.
There was a Youtube video that showed that
One of my favorite pictures has always been the one that starts with something smaller than humans, goes through a handful of mammals/ dinasaurs, planets, stars... through Sirius etc. It's like a long picture. I used to have it saved but now I can't find it. Great for putting things into perspective.
I've seen similar things before but it is never any less amazing. Thanks for the links!
93 billion light years? That seems pretty far...I wonder just how far that is exact-- *head explodes*
I love stuff like this. The interactive one is cool, never seen the vid though before. Worth it.
