Space Is Big, Really Big…
Greetings to all of you, most of whom will be arriving via Twitter (praise be the tweet).
Today, I have a most wonderful infographic for you, produced by yours truly. it’s 119540×700 pixels of distance-y goodness! I made it because I felt people didn’t quite appreciate the scale of the distances involved when it comes the Earth, the International Space Station, and the Moon. For added comparison I threw in Hubble, and Hawaii to America.
Anyway; enjoy!
CLICK HERE for the full image, including distance to Moon.
(warning: picture is EXTREMELY long, although filesize is only 801kb. )
Note: you’ll probably have to download the image to view it, as most browsers do not render .tif in page.
