Thanks -- i'm reminded to be thankful - to "Creation", but it's impossible to wrap my head around this. But the video does offer me a reminder ... "Major on the majors, minor on the minors ... don't major on the minors."

Or another perspective --the millions/trillions of cells in our bodies - as above so below --- and each of us human beings represent a "sun".

Mind blowing indeed, The One ...

God ... we're tiny! To see it represented like that is quite something.

Beetlegeuse is the top left star in Orion and is a red giant it's supposed to go supernova some time soon...like in the next million years or so...it's 125 light years away and when it blows it will be visible in the day and nighttime sky for about two weeks...it's really kind of neat cause if you look at Orion you can notice with the naked eye that it is reddish in color whereas the rest of the constellation is blue-ish in color...oh yeah....and if you put beetlegeuse in the middle of our solar system it would extend out to Jupiter

These facts have always blown my mind.....I think we should rename the 'hubble' telescope...

To the 'Humble' telescope....

I've seen the first part of this video before and it's really something. I've been thinking about it lately after seeing that nasa video everyone's talking about of the big black sphere parked in the sun's corona for a bit, teethering to it, and then taking off at a rapid speed-that thing was BIG, alot biger than jupiter. But yeah, we're the only planet that has life in the WHOLE freakin' universe. And we know that because we can see EVERYTHING from our little spec :)

Well, wrap your mind around this. LOL

Yes, this is mind bending and it is also reality out in the great beyond. Betelgeuse is to go supernova soon and so is that giant Antares sitting next to it....home to some on this forum.

Thanks for the 'shift in perspective', The One!

we are not worthy.

[Tigressa]

That is awesome!

Does anyone know of a similar link that visually demonstrates the galactic alignment and how our galaxy revolves around the Pleiades etc.
Am referring to the idea that: "Our Sun (actually our entire Solar System) rotates around Alycone, the brightest star of the Pleiades constellation. One complete revolution of our Solar System around Alcyone takes approximately 26,000 years.
In addition, Alcyone (and our Solar System) are revolving around the Galactic Core (central region) or our Milky Way Galaxy. One complete revolution takes approximately 225 million years".

Thank you the One for this inspiring link. I will try meditating on a visit to Antares for fun.

Douglas Adams was right. Space is big. Really big.

may have jogged someones memmory ????

Very nice find, the one. And anyone who thinks we are the only intelligent life that exists after seeing that, really needs to get their head out of the sand.

Now, try to wrap your mind around this. EARTH is the most amazing planet in all of the universes out there. There is no other planet like ours anywhere. Now, what makes it even more amazing is that all the souls here right now resonate with this planet only and no other, that is why all these souls chose to be born here and no where else. How lucky is that? Being born here and existing on this wonderful planet Earth. Let us all send her a big kiss right now. The size does not matter, the beauty of the planet does.

[Tigressa]

Thank you cidersomerset and xbusymum, I appreciate your input! xx.
