Astronomical Comparisons

[myke]

This was sent to me by my Aunt Patty as an email, I never saw it before and I did think it was very interesting to read. Thank You for thinking of me, Aunt Patty!

Now, THIS is really fascinating - I've never really given this any thought,

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

I certainly thought this was enlightening.
Didn't even realize we knew much 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.


... so ... how insignificant should we really be feeling, right about now?

I'm thinking Antares and Arcturus and probably someone else's sun? Perhaps some other civilization? They do appear to look the part.

But they are so much bigger then our own sun, do you think that means the people that live on those planets have a better tan?

[Tommy]

No, Hopefully tan is not an issue. Theoretically they live far enough away from the star-sun that they have 75 degrees
w/0% humidity in a perfect world. But Who Knows really?

[myke]

Theoretically is one of them $20 words, I didn't know you could afford them. LOL

Although we are starting to know more about the universe. We
still know very little, Mostly theory. I for one tend to think "out"
of the box while others are still in one. Probably about a $2.50
box thats 4 boxes for one word-unless its buy 1 get 1 free day
and then you could get 8 boxes he he he good luck

I had to ask somebody to be sure but I think you need more boxes or get the better ones.


2.50
x 4
------
= 10

I knew the box guy was stickin it to me. These days you gotta watch everybody. Somewhere i think this has lost
its point. From $20 words to $2.50 boxes it really comes down to ones opinion. Far beyond simple math or fancy words. I hereby
call a truce.
