Here’s the orbital period of our solar system’s 8 major planets (how long it takes each to travel around the sun). Their size is to scale and their speed is accurate relative to Earth’s. The repetition of each GIF is proportional to their orbital period. Mercury takes less than 3 months to zoom around Sol, Neptune takes nearly 165 years.

fuck this gifset do you know how long i sat here waiting for fucking neptune to drag its lazy ass into the frame

This is terrifying and glorious and the same time.

It is statistically impossible that we are alone in the Universe.

This fucked me up and then calmed me in a certain way

everything is too big

Speaking of too big, the leftmost pillar of the Eagle Nebula, you know, this pic? It’s four light years long. One light year is
six trillion miles long.
