That's what i often think when looking at the orange ball that is our evening sun (when it's filtered enough to look at). I think about how fucking huge it has to be to have the visual size of the moon while being soooo far away. And I imagine how fast we fly around it while I'm sitting there on a park-bench, just fantastic
nice link, thx
