Discover incredible facts about our cosmic planet

When looking up at the starry night sky, millions of stars are speckled, many of us suddenly realize just how trivial our everyday worries are. Now, with modern science and technology, the wonders of the universe are right in front of our eyes, we cannot help but think about what it means. From the position of people on Earth, the cosmic planet seems to be vastly incomprehensible - even many people don't realize that it is much bigger.

However, many of us do not believe it and this is the reason:

This is the Earth - where you live

And these are "neighbor" planets in the solar system

Here is the distance, the ratio between the Earth and the Moon. Looks not far away, right?

Inside that distance you can fit all the planets in the solar system so beautifully and neatly.

The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is 384,000km or 238,555 miles

And this is the size of the Earth ( six Earths ) compared to Saturn:

But that is nothing compared to our Sun planet. Just remember:

This is when observing the Earth from Mars:

Below is the size of the Earth compared to the size of the Sun. That's scary, isn't it?

And this is the Sun when viewed from the Martian surface:

However, that is nothing. Again, like Carl thought that there were more stars in space than sand grains on every beach on Earth:

That means that there are many larger stars than the Sun. See how our sun is small and insignificant:

However, none of these stars are comparable to the size of a galaxy. In fact, if you shrink the Sun down to the size of a white blood cell and shrink the Milky Way to the same scale, the Milky Way will be about the same size as the United States:

That's because the Milky Way is so big. This is where you live inside:

But this is everything you have seen so far:

But even our galaxy is a tiny dwarf compared to some other galaxies. Here is the Milky Way galaxy compared to IC 1011, 350 million light-years away from the planet Earth:

But think broader. Only in this picture taken by the Hubble telescope, there are thousands of galaxies, each containing millions of stars, each of which is our planets.

And just remember - it's a picture of a very small part of the universe. It is just an insignificant part of the night sky.

And you know, it's quite safe to assume that there are some weird black holes. Below is the size of a black hole compared to Earth's orbit:

2. Neptune's Orbit (8.3 light-hours) - Neptune's Orbit (8.3 light hours)
3. NGC 1277 Black Hole (4 light-days) - Black hole orbit NGC 1277 (4 light days)

This is our planet Earth
