Found this interesting video about a real life scale of our solar system. The way these dudes set it up puts the vastness into perspective.

Earth is a tiny tiny tiny spec in the universe.

If my body were to scale of the universe, my penis would be Earth. Just a tiny, tiny, tiny, extra tiny spec.

And just think.

We...we these infinitesimally insignificant specks of stardust, in the brobdingnagian vastness of an expanding universe, in a flyspeck mote of a moment in the endless grinding of the wheel of history, rotten and forgotten before we are once more dust...

But still, still in the face of all that,
we can love. We can feel the tiniest fingers of a newborn wrap around ours and be completely lost. We can look into someone’s eyes and get intoxcated in that endless moment where nothing but joy can touch us.

We can feel the heartbreak and sorrow of a loss that doesn’t matter in the grand scheme.

We can exist and feel and live, in defiance of how insignificant we are...and yet still feel emotions bigger than the universe could ever be.

And that...that is what’s truly amazing.

The solar system is big, but still possible to wrap one’s head around for the most part. The ridiculous, and quite sad, honestly, distance between our solar system and the nearest star systems like Alpha or Proxima centuri is mind boggling in itself. Scaling down a distance of 4-ish light years would basically mean our solar system represented by specks of dirt a few feet in diameter and traveling something like 200 miles to another speck of dirt. That’s the distance/scale to the nearest star outside ours(4 ly), and our entire galaxy is something like 100,000 light years across.

Here’s to hoping that we have a very incomplete picture of physics and how our reality really works, if there’s ever any chance of navigating those distances timely.

Wish they would have given, an aerial view with a drone

The link was to a YouTube video of the failed Space Shuttle launch and not, well, what the title indicates....

How Earth Moves YouTube

This was the next suggested video after the OPs. It will make your head hurt even more. It discusses time based on the Earths movement through space. If you don't watch the whole thing, skip to the last minute.
