THINK AGAIN. Inside that distance you can fit every planet in our solar system, nice and neatly.

But let’s talk about planets. That little green smudge is North America on Jupiter.

And just for good measure, here’s what Saturn’s rings would look like if they were around Earth

This right here is a comet. We just landed a probe on one of those bad boys. Here’s what one looks like compared with Los Angele

But that’s nothing compared to our sun. Just remember

Here’s you from the moon

Here’s you from Mars

Here’s you from just behind Saturn’s rings

And here’s you from just beyond Neptune, 4 billion miles away.

Let’s step back a bit. Here’s the size of Earth compared with the size of our sun. Terrifying, right?

And here’s that same Sun from the surface of Mars:

But that’s nothing. Again, as Carl once mused, there are more stars in space than there are grains of sand on every beach on Ear
