Yes this is awesome this. Imagine being there. It's hard to conceptualise the scale of the flare.

I watched that a half or ago.
That makes it just before your post.
Lets synchronise our watches now and sing in unison....
Er, ok then, maybe not.

Strangely beautiful.

My mate does that actually but means it.

I send him videos and he says "yeah... I saw that last week/month/year"

I showed him one this week... he said 'is this new?' I said 'No? I've had it on my wall for about a week' He said "why didn't you tell me?"

"because I assume you have seen everything"

I wonder if he has flare for this.

There's a point where the Earth is superimposed to show its size.
It's big.

I know right!

Even though you are shown the scale.. it's just hard to comprehend. It's comprehensible... but at a profoundly 'WHAAAAAAAAAAAT???' level.
