Space is Big

“Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it is a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that is just peanuts to space.” Douglas Adams - Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy

This is just too good not to share. Dries Buytaert, whose blog is not typically about space, has posted a fabulous illustration that really shows just how “mind-bogglingly big” space is. It would be interesting to add Himiko to the chart too!
