Bench Press

The most amazing thing about social media services like Twitter and Friendfeed is how rapidly you can find interesting articles and links. One of my good friends on Twitter, Charles Ju, recently pointed me to a picture which he only described as “this picture blows my mind”.

And sure enough, it completely blew my mind. I re-shared it on my own FriendFeed (garnering a couple of comments/responses from my own Twitter followers and Friendfeed friends) If you didn’t understand the scale of the universe before, this will put it all into perspective:

A big wow for:

1. How powerful social media services like Twitter and Friendfeed are for disseminating cool information/factoids/images
2. How vast the universe is
3. The capability of the Hubble Space Telescope to amass information about our universe
