How do you like that, my posts come like buses, two at the same time after you waited for ages.

I found this page, just has some images to show the scale of Mother Earth to some other planets and stars. I never realised Mars was so small.

Its cool the way they layed it out, I feel really insignificant now:

thats really cool, and mars is tiny!

thats somewhat surprising, i bet Mar's surface area is about that of Asia really. (if asia were square), which is quite a thought.

There are 10 planets now. Recently, Nasa mesured "Xena" and found it is slightly larger than Pluto.
