30 stunning images, to explain to a child what is our place in the Universe

The website publishes a selection of various illustrations, with the help of which you can see and compare the magnitude of various objects in the Universe. This compilation will be a great help for parents wanting to show children that our Earth is not the whole world.

The distance between the Earth and the Moon (to scale). Not so far, right?



Meanwhile, in the distance are placed all the planets of the Solar system!



Don't forget, our planet is very small. The green BLOB shows what would North America on Jupiter



One of Saturn will fit six Lands, and place will remain



Here's how would look like the rings of Saturn, if it were surrounded by Land



We just landed a probe on a comet. Here's how it looks compared to Los Angeles



And this is to remind you of how immense our Sun...



From moon



The view from Mars



With Saturn we seem to be only a blue dot



And since Neptune is barely visible



Here is the Earth compared to the Sun, which does not even fit in the photo as a whole!



Here is Sun from Mars. It should be noted, we have beautiful sunsets



It is difficult to comprehend, but stars in space more than grains of sand on all the beaches of the Earth



Giant and our Sun is small compared to other stars



Here VY Canis major. She is a billion times greater than the Sun. Literally



If you reduce the Sun to the size of the white blood cells and, accordingly, decrease the milky Way, the size of it will match the United States



"You are here" milky Way



And this is all part of the milky Way, which we can see



In addition, the milky Way is a relatively small galaxy compared to IC 1011, which is located 350 million light-years from Earth



This picture from the Hubble telescope are visible to thousands of galaxies, each with planets and millions of stars



This is galaxy UDF 423 10 billion light years from Earth. In this photo you're looking billions of years into the past



This is only a tiny fraction of the night sky



But the earth's orbit in comparison with a black hole



In this scale, our life is perceived quite differently. This is our home



Small, Yes?



A beautiful night on the ground



Let's wander a little further



A cluster of other galaxies



Now you can see all the Virgo Supercluster



Further...



That's the whole observable universe!
