[QUOTE="CobraRed01, post: 14463669, member: 11346"] That's a very cool illustration of how really massive a star can be. Incredible. The Hubble shot is a classic. There is a great computer simulation online of a 3D map of all the local galaxies and their relationship to their local groups and super clusters. Using detailed data gathered over many years they've mapped how all these structures are moving relative to each other using red and blue shift pathing. The Great Attractor plays a major role. Kind of sews this altogether in an ultimate You Are Here map in 3D. What's most incredible is to realize that humanity has evolved to able to grasp and accurately measure and map such phenomena at such great distances when not too long ago we were still riding horses. Then, of course, there's CERN...looking in the opposite direction. Now just think...you are standing on the surface of a tiny little orb floating in all that space and a realize there is relatively little between the top of your head and a celestial body that used to be possibly a billion lights years away. I wonder what's there now? Closer objects are basically still there. Look down...then look up. Your head is at the highest point on the surface of a planet. [/QUOTE]
