A solar filament erupts out into space with Earth to scale (size not distance)

A swatted fly?

Wow. That brings it all into perspective, doesn't it.

And amazingly this has gone on for billions of years and will continue for billions of years.

Earth directed CMEs really mess up our short wave bands.

We really are small beings unaware of the vast univers
And while we're at it, we're destroying our beautiful home 😢😞

So sad that “size not distance” needs to be stated… 🙄

I like to reflect on the fact that 1.3 million earths would fit inside the sun when in need of perspective.

Damn! Imagine it was that close!

(size not distance)! I love that! Very good!!

Did you take this?

the raw power of our sun

Imagine if it was cooked

Explains the vast distances between stars when they shoot flares that large and far planets would be eviscerated
