There's always a bigger, uh, sun.

I was just thinking of such a similar comparison today with a similar way of comparing them! (Earth<<Sun<<SagittariusA)

ok so, this post reminds me, a while ago i archived all of the older Vsauce content, and i binged through the vast majority of it, and i can swear there was a video from him about the scale of the universe, or the scale of things in the universe, but i can't for the life of me find it.

Either it's hiding somewhere, or i'm making some shit up and it isn't real lol.

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

it's quite possibly somewhere in there. The blessing and the curse of Vsauce videos is that you never know what's going to be inside of it

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

yeah, that's kind of the problem i'm having lol, doesnt help that his video titles are often a little obtuse.

you got me to rewatch a couple of my favourites and there's a bit about the scale of the singal we send out to space in Messages For the Future. Maybe it was that?

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

could be, but i remember a video covering the scales of stars either as a focus, or as a reference, including a segment where the earths sun is quite literally too small to see. But i might be making that last part up.

Maybe it was by a different educational YouTuber. I'm thinking Veritasium.

Somewhere in late 2000s I saw one of the most mind-melting GIFs I've seen that compared the Solar System objects to the largest known stars at the time. This kinda reminded me of that.
