Many may think of us as super tiny meanwhile we're actually bigger than the universe compared to the smallest thing in the universe which is even more unimaginable than the size of the universe.
Did anyone else’s heart rate beat little bit faster when they saw Stephenson 218? I just can’t believe that our planet is so small compared to most of the other planets out there.
Fun fact: if you wanted to circle Stephenson at the equator in the fastest plane on earth (sr-71 blackbird) at top speed it would take you over 500 years.
Practically impossible.. i think even with 1000x faster planes we can't even see that thing.. human body isn't built to withstand such energy from the Stephenson
I've seen so many comparison videos between our tiny sized Sun and truly gigantic stars like UY Scuti and Stephenson 2-18, but I never get tired of these. The fact that the star we orbit around is so *average* is fascinating. And so is our planet. Huge, for us, but there's much bigger rocky/terrestial planets out there.
