Earth in Perspective

I received this document today. It's an excellent representation of the Earth relative to other bodies in the Universe. Initially we see that the Earth is the largest of the small planets, but then we see that it is dwarfed by Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter. Then we see all the planets being dwarfed by the Sun. The we see that the Sun is actually seriously humbled by Sirius, Pollux and mighty Arcturus. In the final frame we see how Arcturus itself looks very small next to Rigel and Aldebaran with Betelgeuse and Antares being much bigger still!

Very humbling!

Have a look here....
