It’s the weekend, so I’m going to avoid politics for the time being in order to relax. I thought instead it would be interesting to include a bit of fascinating science.

Just how big are objects in our universe? It’s difficult to grasp the enormity sometimes, but there’s an interesting series of pictures at this blog that I’ll re-post here, adding a couple that were overlooked by the original author.

If these pictures don’t make us feel small, nothing will:

    For a moment there, Doug, I thought you might have misunderstood the meaning of emormity. My mistake. Pollox!

    That Taurus up Doug. It was a Gemini of an idea!

    But it does raise some interesting questions.
    For example, since feminists are so dense, why don’t they implode?
    The only possible answer is that they live in a different universe.

    If the Gray Aliens are smart, they are going to get back in their spacecraft and get the Hell outta here!
