Yep. Calling Earth a grain of sand in the ocean would make us far too large.

wow, and i thought GOLO made me feel insignificant

Do the folks on Sirius send us our radio? If they do, lets not nuke 'em. LOL

Sirius is a star not a planet.......then I stand corrected. they said they were from Sirius in the series. I assumed it was a planet. It was pretty in the picture anyway. I noticed it being listed there and I don't know if it said what it was on the picture. The name caught my eye as it was mentioned on the show and I figured they just made up the name..Heck there were only 7 known planets when I was in school........

Haven't seen that Freezy, will have to check it out. My kids got a telescope last year, and we have enjoyed learning several new things together. I have also learned that stars move a hell of a lot faster in a telescope than they appear to the eye. It can be frustrating with youngins jumping up and down wanting to see and you can't keep a star in view long enough for them all to see it before having to readjust.

I remember learning the planets and such in school, but don't really remember a lot of talk about the sizes of the planets in comparison to each other. I thought it is amazing that Earth is smaller than the giant red spot/storm on Jupiter. Maybe they did talk about it and I missed it, I wasn't a science nut in school. Oddly, the only science I enjoyed was Physics, but that is because I enjoy math.

Ever listened to NASA's "Symphonies of the Planets"? Fascinating stuff.

Pretty cool- although my twisted mind thought as they got bigger and bigger, the last one would be Oprah or something like that LOL

"I don't think we'll have to worry about the visitors from Sirius. I Think that is the planet the series Visitors "V" is from isn't it?"

Sirius is a star not a planet.......

really cool....but now I feel even smaller :(

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