Putting Things in Perspective

[dpricenator]

I've received this email a couple of times, but it really puts things in persective for me.



It's rather dazzling to see it presented this way.

I CERTAINLY THOUGHT THIS WAS ENLIGHTENING.

BEYOND OUR SUN ... IT'S A BIG UNIVERSE.

ANTARES IS THE 15th BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE SKY.
IT IS MORE THAN 1000 LIGHT YEARS AWAY.
NOW HOW BIG ARE YOU?
------------------------------------------------------------------

NOW TRY TO WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND THIS...

THIS IS A HUBBLE TELESCOPE ULTRA DEEP FIELD INFRARED VIEW OF COUNTLESS 'ENTIRE' GALAXIES BILLIONS OF LIGHT-YEARS AWAY.

HUMBLING, ISN'T IT?
And yet, someone knows how many hairs are on your head, and not even a single sparrow dies apart from His will. (Mt 10:29 -31)
NOW HOW BIG ARE YOU?
AND HOW BIG ARE THE THINGS THAT UPSET YOU TODAY?

AND HOW BIG IS YOUR GOD?

KEEP LIFE IN PERSPECTIVE.


AND DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF!!

IT'S ALL UNDER CONTROL. (Job 38)

STILL, SOME SAY THERE IS NOT A GOD!!

Nice Dave.
Really makes you think.
Since space is infinite, if you thought of traveling the furthest distance you can possibly imagine, what’s beyond that and if you traveled that distance again, beyond that and so on.
Or, let’s say space is finite. A sphere or a box. What is out side and beyond that?
Here I go giving myself a headache again. :scratchhe

Very cool!

Like MNelson's signature line.

So light has no mass, yet it has momentum
So it's imparting a force on me when it hits me but i can't hit it back because it's not there

Uranus is not as big as I expected. :smile:
