Video of the Day

Putting the Earth in perspective

6/15/09

Just a warning, this YouTube video will make you feel small. But maybe that’s not such a bad thing. It’s hard to imagine how big the universe really is. This video will give you an idea.

The video starts with a scale model of the moon. Most people would say the moon is pretty big. But that’s just a matter of perspective. This video takes a journey around various objects floating through space.

The moon, the earth and our sun are quickly eclipsed both other bodies. You’ll get just a taste of the size of our universe. It’s incredible to think about what’s out there.
