sleek77 rated 13 months ago- Egad, where are we?

- I'm a visual person and via this site I can learn some of the proportions involving celestial bodies I hear about all the time, but actually have a fairly poor (as in limited) understanding about when it comse down to it. Tis is very interesting to me. Gravitation anyone? This gives you an understanding (if you're bent that way) about what horoscopes are all about. It would be strange if we were NOT affaected by these large bodies somehow.

A sense of perspective is always important. I haven't seen "An Inconvienient Truth" yet, but it has been highly recommended to me by people I respect. What I've heard about that movie reminded me of the graphics below. Now go back and look at the Earth in the first picture above. Think of how small you are compared to the size of the Earth. Then think of the impact of the over eight billion of us on the planet. On the scale we are looking at now, the picture of the globe above will not change very much because of global warming. There will just be a little more blue and tan, and less white and green. Of course, about seven of those eight billion will die and most of the planet will be covered by desert, but it won't make much of a difference in the big picture.

- Our Middle Aged Sun, still in it's prime, is just a regular 'dude'. Let's hope the 'e' doesn't fall off too soon. The perspective becomes apparent on site :) especially as you read the flaming Comments. Here's a sample from a cooler head: "We have been warned over and over yet people with a fixation on themselves seem to miss the point time and again. We need to change, yesterday. You can argue that "there is no evidence" or "it's the natural carbon/water cycle" or "the environment controls temperature fluctuations" but at the end of the day, wouldn't it be logical to err on the side of caution, rather than not?

- The actual content of this page; a comparison of the sizes of various solar bodies, is not note-worthy. You should have learnt about it in year 3. However the pseudo science and flame war that errupts from the anonymous comments feature is hilarious. From the page: "Yet, a significant segment of hummanity thinks that WE are actually causing global warming, and not natural fluctuations of both our planet and the huge ball of fire at the centre." A huge ball of fire at the center!?!? Classic :X

- Planets vs each other and sun. Very cool
