The best way to do it is to speed down the highway, then try and imagine that the car is standing still and that the earth is rotating underneath you; this will relativise the motion per se, then imagine wipping around the sun.
It's crazy when you think of the sun as this blazing ball of fire and gas. On top of that try to imagine something that's bigger than anything you're actually able to imagine. The sun's about 100 times bigger than our earth.
It blows my mind to think that all the stars are suns, and some are even bigger than our sun.
You know the star Beetlejuice, the red star that makes up Orion's eye, is 700 times bigger than our sun!! That's crazy!
it could be an egg. It`s all relevent. I`m still convinced that we`re in a petri dish. "let`s inject some Jesus over here, then let`s inject some Allah over here...let`s sprinkle in some greed all over....a drop of cancer, a few drops of compassion....let`s see what happens" I believe that the Earth`s lifecycle may be happening in the matter of minutes to unknown eyes from above. The whole concept of life as we know it reeks of an experiment to me. Carl Sagan was thy prophet!
If you look at the sky now, you could probably see Orion. His belt and sword would be most apparent late at night I think. Then look directly above to see Beltegeuse.

That's wild stuff.
I thought this was an egg at first.?

orion, by the way, is a winter constellation in the north. we only see it between about October and March or so.
it rises in the east, and sets in the west, in the southern part of the sky.
