The Bullet of Scale: The Size of Stars (Part 2)
Our sun is a star yet one of the smallest. Stars are classed as “supergiants” … 100 to 1000 times the diameter of our sun … and “dwarfs” the great majority of stars including our sun.
But, back to my friend, Antares. I shared with my family that it is so large you could slice it in two as you would an orange and half of it would still be too large to pass between the earth and our sun! That is “big, big.”
A chance comment by my son then gave rise to the following thought. “They look so small, but, the closer you get the bigger they get.” It stuck me immediately that this is exactly how it is with God.
