For all my space loving friends out there
Jan. 29th, 2013 11:38 amI found this on the BBC's website and thought the final quote to be rather poetic and beautiful:
"You've now reached the outer edges of our own solar system, a distance of more than 21 billion kilometres. It would take you 22 million years of continuous scrolling on this scale to get to the farthest regions of the observable Universe, another 435 sextillion kilometers (435 followed by 21 zeros, or 46 billion light years) away. We think we'll stop here. Live long and prosper."
If interested the link is here. It makes for some fascinating scrolling. http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20120321-how-big-is-space
