Planet And Star Comparison In HD

I posted a similar planet comparison video on this site over a year ago but this version in high definition blows it away, although the music is a bit more ominous and imperial sounding than that of The Postal Service. Watch it full screen for the maximum effect:

I feel so insignificant now. I thought Rigel was just something on Star Trek.

Insignificance is the point exDLB, and Star Trek, while fictional, has a large basis in scientific fact. Glad you were able to learn something new here. That, more than anything else, is my ultimate goal with this site.

Mind-blowing.

I am the blogger formerly known as Van Zan. I've set up the beginnings of my own blog.
I probably won't update it as often as Brain Rage, and I'm not sure where I'm heading with it. I have no particular theme in mind.
I'd be honoured if you'd drop in from time to time.

Glad to see that you've finally started your own site, quietmagpie. I've added you to the blogroll. Happy posting.
