J/K! :D

That's crazy. I knew systems were bigger than ours but never thought a single planet could be that huge.

Ye3a, its tough to fathom just how big even our solar system is.. Think of what you know as a long distance -across the country, over to Europe perhaps.. Then think about that scaled up to the distance between planets, or the Sun to Pluto... My head hurts, it is just too big for me to comprehend...

Universe Sandbox. Cool program. The freeware version is sorta limited though.

If you want a very accurate representation of our place in the universe, check out Celestia. It's a little outdated, but people mod it still, and has some really great downloads. What is really amazing is how many stars are actually quite close to use in relation to the size of the galaxy and universe.
