That's really interesting. I have seen things about how far apart everything is, but not the relative sizes of starts. On campus, we have a scale version of the solar system, with status placed at the corresponding distances from the center sun one. You can see all the inner planets, but have to walk clear across campus to find the rest.

Check The Scale Of the Universe. If those stars made you feel small, you will feel much smaller after that.

mind= blown.
I'm not sure if the above link is the same one as this one I'm above to link to (It's on a web block, reason= pornography... and this site is not listed as weapons) but here is an amazing site.

*I hope I did my HTML right. If I didn't that would be ironic, as I am sitting in class right now, <b>supposed</b> to be learning HTML and dreamweaver...*

but that guy made a real nice animation. I hope next year I can learn Flash...
