I didn't realize Mars was so small.



I wish we'd return to the kind of fascination of space and astronomy that the world had in the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's. Nobody really cares now...

I've never heard of any of the planets after the 2nd row, and I had no idea the sun was that much bigger than Jupiter. Craziness!

Everything beyond Jupiter is a star. There are large exoplanets that should have been included for comparison which are considerably larger than Jupiter.

Crazy how all of the world's horrid, disgusting, and despicable problems all happen in such tiny, tiny place.

Unless...



The Milky Way Galaxy collides with the Andromeda Galaxy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androme..._Way_collision



Unless...



The Sun doesn't boil away all of a**hole earth's water and swallow it whole by incineration: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun#Earth.27s_fate



Unless...



A**hole earth floats into the universes own a**hole and compresses all of its problematic issues into a singularity in which it then realizes it's been an a**hole this whole time!



(At this point it might seem like I am a bit upset lol, I can assure you that I'm not.)
