I think everyone loved those cool visualizations of relative scale (example one, two) we’ve seen lately. Here’s a new one showing the relative size of planetary objects. Three thoughts occurred to me while watching this: 1: This guy has some crazy good animation skills.  2: We really are insignificant specks floating in an endless black void. 3: I can’t believe I recognize that annoying music from the Black Hole movie.
