Perspective

A friend of ours sent us these photos recently in an email.

This is the size of our earth compared to the other planets in Solar System (except forget poor Pluto)



This is the size of our planets in relation to the sun.

This is the size of our sun in relation to the star, Arcturus.









This is Arcturus compared to Antares and to its campanion star, Betelgeuse, which is part of the constellation Orion.













God said to Job and his pals (38: 31-33), “Can you direct the movement of the stars, binding the cluster of the Pleiades or loosening the cords of Orion? Can you direct the sequence of the seasons or guide the Bear with her cubs across the heavens? Do you know the laws of the universe? Can you use them to regulate the earth?"

I don't think He was bragging, just trying to lend some perspective.
