Digital illustration <n>The Black Hole</n> by <n>Eawn</n>.

I captured the entire "Planetary Parade" using my 11" telescope, and combined everything into one composite photo that stayed true to the angular scale of these objects. 

Made entirely with real photos, I hope this composite helps illustrate the scale of these things!

maybe consciousness isn't rare. maybe it's the default state and matter is the anomaly
