Not sure of the original source, but I got this in my e-mail today and thought it was worth sharing. Kind of mind blowing and puts things in perspective.

2nd note....I haven't confirmed the validity of this, but it seems to ring true.

(If someone has seen this before and knows of the source...let me know)

Thanks.

OMG :eyepop: ..... That is Awesome Andrew, I have the Earth Sun representations as a laminated card I use at public nights to convey the scale of things.
I had not seen the scale of our sun to others though !
Could you Email the original, I would love to get the star images too.
I often explain that these stars would fill the orbit of the earth around the sun, but I don't think most people grasp just how big that is !

Good one Andrew,

Opening our eyes even more.

There is a recent thread on these images... have a search for it if you want to read more people's reaction to them... Those giants are really giants.
