Star Scale of the Universe

Not Working?
Just a little astronomy information. We are but a tiny speck in this infinite universe. This is a model of the planets in our solar system and the sizes of some stars which have been found. Did you know our sun is like a speck of dust compared to the other stars in the universe? The Sun is a yellow dwarf. See for yourself. This video shows the perspective of how large stars are relative to our sun.

This kind of reminds me of the "Power of Ten" clip, which oddly enough, I cannot find here.

Re: Star Scale of the Universe
That's the one that I had in mind, although I had seen it on another host. Question is, has this been posted at M&C before? I can swear that I've seen it here but cannot find the URL. Any mod or sysadmin wanna check the old hidden ones for us?

I can't submit a Newgrounds link because of their advertising policy, so I'm putting this here. You guys really should check this out. Fun facts: Pluto is smaller than the moon and Mercury is slightly larger in diameter than the United States is wide.
