There's been a couple of videos floating around the net about space and size...
I thought i'd pay a visit to our own local inter-stellar (almost) object...
Voyager 1 is 2.3M Ls from Sol
It puts things in perspective....
if we could set off from Earth today at the Speed of Light ....
It would take us 6 hours to reach Pluto - the last almost planet of our little back garden ......
From that point on ...... another (just over) 26 DAYS of NOTHING but empty space before we would get to Voyager 1 (which was launched in 1977) .... and at that point we're still technically still within our own solar system ...
I love space..... it just breaks your brain
