Have you ever stopped to think about the size of the Moon and Mars Or who knows, a Black Hole?
The creator of the website “The Size of Space” – or, in free translation, “The Size of Space” – Neal Agarwal stopped, and more! He decided to help us understand how big our Universe is.
Like? He developed a website where it is possible to compare, in a simple way, the size of objects related to space. To do this, it starts by showing the image of an astronaut and, as you click to the left, the objects (ships, planets, black holes, constellations, etc.) get bigger and bigger, turning the astronaut into a little dot little one.
