Thumbs up A Journey in Relative Size...

Hey Gents and Ladies,

A "down-under" friend sent this interesting video on size comparison from Mercury to Cephei W. Give it a look :

That was an awesome video Bob!! It is amazing how "small" we are in comparison to what is out there.

Thanks for posting that video.

Barry, my Brother!

Good to see you on here, and welcome to AstroClassifieds.

For those who may care, Baz here is my down under astro-bud who is the source of the video on this thread. He is building a very nice obs with a fiberglass dome, near Canberra, Aussieland, which I hope he will share with us on the Obs forum.

CDS!
Bob
