I love that thing, theres a side-by-side comparison somewhere as well so you can gauge it a little better. I actually cannot fathom the size of the largest star in comparison to us. I can't get my mind around it.

So all those other stars when where they discovered and what happened to pluto.
An on a side note did anyone here about that planet that is supposed to enter our solar system in 2012, that will throw our solar system into complete caos and last time it entered they reckon it caused the last ice age

Think you'll find Pulto isn't a planet any more

Keep up!
And as for it causing the last ice age... pfft. Milankovitch Cyles? Sun Spot activity? Albedo effect of the earth? Deep ocean current changes? Gravitational anomolies like rouge rougue planets are way down the list of global temperature change phenomina.
Just another scare mongering tatic to keep funding professors who want to go to confreneces abroad and stay in a hotel room with their young, pretty secretaries. Or is that just me being cynical?
