Its weird to think about the universe being infinite. I try to imagine what it looks like. is it a ball? or is it just a flat expanding band? if it is infinite there has to be an end right? I love learning about space, and how it works. teach me to the universe? ---

It is mind blowing to think about how big everything is. Sometimes it’s hard to comprehend, and the distances between planets is crazy! The sun is incredibly far away and here on Earth it is blinding. It’s incredibly amazing. ---
