Sizing Up Matters

As a homeschooler (and someone VERY into Biblical Astronomy)... these pictures really tooted my whistle.  ((R'something.))  I thought you might enjoy them, too.  I left them enlargeable so's you could see better (I only have so much width in my format here...)

Earth compared to the smaller planets in our system

 
Adding in the bigger planets, now...


In relation to the sun... 

 
That little arrow is pointing to our sun, btw...

 
This was a hubble picture taken after the aperature was left open for several days...
those aren't stars, they're GALAXIES.

Same picture, zoomed in.  See the different kinds of galaxies?  There are gazillions...
