Fight or die fighting, no surrender.
18. Here’s another look. The biggest star, VY Canis Majoris, is 1,000,000,000 times bigger than our sun:
19. But none of those compares to the size of a galaxy. In fact, if you shrunk the Sun down to the size of a white blood cell and shrunk the Milky Way Galaxy down using the same scale, the Milky Way would be the size of the United States:
20. That’s because the Milky Way Galaxy is huge. This is where you live inside there:
21. But this is all you ever see:
we can't see shiiiiiiiittt
22. But even our galaxy is a little runt compared with some others. Here’s the Milky Way compared to IC 1011, 350 million light years away from Earth:
Our galazy is huge, and yet it's a spec comparted to Galaxy IC 1011. How the hell is there not life on these other galaxies it's impossible NOT to be. There has to be SOMETHING else out there besides us.
23. But let’s think bigger. In JUST this picture taken by the Hubble telescope, there are thousands and thousands of galaxies, each containing millions of stars, each with their own planets.
shyt looks like a video game
24. Here’s one of the galaxies pictured, UDF 423. This galaxy is 10 BILLION light years away. When you look at this picture, you are looking billions of years into the past.
how do they know that those light years are going backwards how do they know that, that galaxy isn't billions of years in the FUTURE
25. And just keep this in mind — that’s a picture of a very small, small part of the universe. It’s just an insignificant fraction of the night sky.
26. And, you know, it’s pretty safe to assume that there are some black holes out there. Here’s the size of a black hole compared with Earth’s orbit, just to terrify you:
