oh and if you think that is big.....this is a Red Supergiant...also known as Aldebaran, compare that to our sun....it is quite bigger than the blue supergiant...so yea. basicaly the earth is smaller than the dot at the end of this sentence.

remember, our sun is still a very young sun, thats why its smaller, its only a few billion years old

the size of the universe is mind boggling, it jus drives my mind mad just trying to think of how big it ALL is and where the space comes from

what if earth comes near 1 of the gaints when our sun explodes (they told our sun already used more then 50% of its ehm gasoline)...

Damn then we are TOASTED!!

dude... our physics teacher is an enthusiast about this stuff... we had a lesson on the significance of Earth in the universe.. we're a small planet, revolving around one (small) sun out of billions in our galaxy in the outer area of the arm of the milky way which is one of billions of galaxies in our universe... Everyone turned emo for the rest of the day

RE: Blue + Red Supergiants by vaccination on 07-10-2006 at 03:59 PM

I can imagine. :P my Science teacher is like that and all the science teachers in our school send emails to each other with loads of sites with information on this sought of stuff then they start doing a lesson about it. Gets you down very easily.

The mind does boggle. I always annoy myself with thinking of how it was made. God theories etc. How long 'till the sun explodes?

First off, we would not survive the explosion of our sun, we, wouldn't even know it blew up untill 8 minutes after,

secondly, 50% of its hydrogen, that sill means it can run on the other 50% for several billion years still

third, there is no garentee that our sun will explode, it could simply turn in to a dwarf star
RE: Blue + Red Supergiants by -Bogan- on 07-11-2006 at 07:50 AM

Intense stuff right here btw if it did turn into a dwarf star wouldn't we die slowly due to there being know heat on earth.

RE: Blue + Red Supergiants by Thor on 07-11-2006 at 10:44 AM

Yeah, but try thinking about how the universe started... The "Big Bang"..  :D

That's driving me nuts!
