I was reading a book about astrology last night and the size and disances are over whelming I thought I would write some down to give a little insight into our national debt. The Andromeda Galexy is the next one to us, we live in the Milky way,they are two million light years away.Like nothing else in human existance astronomy encompasses distances,ages and sizes so enormouse that it's almost impossable to form a mental image of any of them.The numbers aloneare enough to overwhelm the emagination,how big is a million or a billion ? A million sheets of paper from your printer would form a tower 30 stories high,A billion would soar more than 10 times higher than Mt Everest,and a trillion would get you a quarter of the way to the moon,(how much is our debt) Another way of looking at it a million seconds is 12 days,but a billion seconds is more than 31 years,and a trillion is 300 centuries,longer than the history of civilization. Concidering all the above galexy's were made in one day by one dude,is amazing.
