Scale of Space





Although it has a slightly hyperbolic title, "209 Seconds That Will Make You Question Your Entire Existence" is a video by Buzzfeed that gives a quick overview of the scale of objects in our universe. By doing quick comparisons that show the vast sizes and distances that exist in space, the video does a decent job of showing how big things really are:

Unfortunately there are some small inaccuracies pointed out by Phil Pliat in this article, but it is great as a jumping off point for a discussion about space.
