Interesting comparisons help you better understand the universe

If you still think it is quite easy for humans to conquer the Moon, you need to know that we can put every planet in the Solar System between the Earth and the Moon, and still have an excess of 8,030 km. space.

If you still think it is quite easy for humans to conquer the Moon, you need to know that we can put all the planets in the Solar System in the middle of this distance and still have 8030 km of space.

Another giant of the Solar System is Saturn, to understand how big the planet is, let's look at the size correlation between Saturn and . 6 Earth.

This is what we would see if the Earth possessed the same rings as Saturn.

The rapid development of astronomy

Just by looking at a photo of Pluto at more than 2 decades apart, you will somewhat understand the rate of development of astronomy.

Are comets as small as we think?

When the comet appeared in the sky it was just like a small trail of light. However, this object is not as tiny as we think. In the main picture is comet 67P / Churyumov – Gerasimenko when placed in the city of Los Angeles (USA). Imagine if this object hit the Earth and the consequences would be catastrophic.
