A sort of slide show, starting with Earth, and ending with the largest known star, helps put the size of our home and parts of the universe in perspective.
(A related post is "More of Putting Planets and Stars in Perspective." I must really like this sort of thing.)

A thin film of mist on cold water.
Bone dry air on a cool winter day.
Steamy mornings. cold steam.
The lake is steaming in the cold dawn.
Misty wisps on wintry morns.

Veiled seas under clear skies
The night was sharp, clear and cold.
The moon was unreasonably bright.
A bright firefly astride a quarter moon.
Planetshine. Moonshine. Starshine.
A quarrelsome moon.
Poetryman,
Thank you!
I think I see what you mean.
