This series of pictures show how small our planet Earth is and then how small even our home star (the Sun) is compared to other nearby stars:

And if that is not sobering enough, consider this the next time you look up at the night sky:

There are more stars in our universe than there are grains of sands in all the beaches on earth!

Mike, I am quite interested, but if it gets to heavy, I lose my desire to read about it. Any authors who are as understandable as hawkins?

Not only are we far away, but the whole damn thing is expanding too. Stupid unvierse, makes me want to run my appliances all day.
