Fun facts from modern Astronomy

It’s always hard for me to remember the scales of things… so here are some facts I keep learning and re-learning put in perspective:

• There are about 100 stars in the Milky Way for every person on Earth
• There are about 100 Galaxies in the Universe for every person on Earth
• We are closer to another (small) galaxy than the other side of our own
• That galaxy is just learning of prehistoric modern human migrations
• The other side of Milky Way is learning about Homo Erectus…
• Andromeda galaxy is learning about earliest Hominids
• The Sun is 100 times wider than the Earth
• Many stars are 100 times bigger than the Sun
• You can take 100 deep breaths, while light travels from the Sun to you
• 10 times around the Earth is the same as distance to the Moon
• Saturn is as far from Jupiter as Jupiter is from the Sun
• And double it again for Uranus and again for Neptune
