Compared to our Sun

 

 

Our Sun compared to other Stars

 

Our Sun is just a tiny speck compared to other stars!

Hard to even make out in the picture with the Sun just 1 pixel wide. Jupiter becomes invisible at this scale.

 

 

Milky Way - Our Galaxy

 

There are 200-400 billion stars in the Milky Way. 

 

The stellar disk of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years  in diameter, and is considered to be, on average, about 1,000 ly thick.

 

Our Milky Way galaxy is small compared to other galaxies. Our neighbouring Andromeda Galaxy has over one trillion stars!

Palm Jumeirah Dubai Beachfront Properties!

Architecture @ its best !!

 

 The Palm Jumeirah is in the shape of a palm tree. It consists of a trunk, a crown with 17 fronds, and a surrounding crescent island that forms an 11 kilometers long breakwater. The island is 5 kilometres by 5 kilometres and its total area is larger than 800 football pitches. The crown is connected to the mainland by a 300-metre bridge and the crescent is connected to the top of the palm by a subsea tunnel.

 

The Palm Jumeirah is an artificial island created by the Dubai government. It is one of three islands called The Palm Islands which will increase Dubai's shoreline by a total of 520 km. The Palm Jumeirah is the smallest and the original of three Palm Islands (Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Deira) under development by Nakheel. It is located on the Jumeirah coastal area of the emirate of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

 

 

According to the developer's publicity material, the Jumeirah Palm island will feature themed boutique hotels, three types of villas (Signature Villas, Garden Homes and Canal Cove Town Homes), shoreline apartment buildings, beaches, marinas, restaurants, cafés and a variety of retail outlets
