How big are we?

Ya know, it would be pretty easy to get lost "up" there.

Nice stuff to share, Jon. Thanks for digging those up. Ditto Vauktu and Apollo. I've been considering astronomy as a hobby, but I likes my sleep! The thing is, astronomy people are a lot like us... they can think about the more esoteric stuff in this life and enjoy it. I need to go to a star party or something, just to try it out. Tucson is supposed to be great for looking up.

Definitely go to a Star Party! They're literally epic! During the winter I take my telescope out to a monthly Star Party by my local observatory, and even tiny as these are they're still great. I went to a national Star Party near Dublin last year and I must say it was one of the best events I've even been to in my life.

When Im older, or at least get the funding, Im heading off to the Fort Davis Star Party in Texas.

Buying a telescope was probably one of the smartest decisions I ever made, though it put me back around $700.

A lot of people are usually disappointed when they look through a telescope for reasons that I'll only expose if Im asked to.

Love videos like this! Its so hard to grasp though how huge the universe is, it just goes on endlessly and I cant fathome that we are alone. Also, as someone else said I can imagine how easy it would be to get lost in space. Once could spend an entire lifetime attempting to explore the depths of this universe.

And Fort Davis eh? Ill have to try going there being in Texas myself, bit of a drive but sounds awesome!
