    Exclamation Interesting how small Earth is on the Grand Scheme of things....

    I thought it was an interesting link...... gives a bit of insight on how big the universe is in relation to earth and of course how small molecules and quarks are.

    I dunno, I've heard on several occasions that US Satellites can zoom in close enough to read the date off a dime. Not sure how true that is though
