The grand scheme of things...

Every now and then we all come across things that make us reexamine what we think we know about... well, everything. Picking up the phone to place a call, only you don't hear a dial tone. After a pause you here a "Hello?" from the receiver and it was the person you were going to call. Having a pain in your finger and deciding maybe you should call your sister to check up on how she'd doing only to find out she almost cut her finger off with a butter knife. Listening to your baby fill his diapers and thinking to yourself, but I just changed him and there's no way such a small body can produce such a large quantity of poo.

But here's a fun one. See if you can put the following four pictures in order from largest to smallest. One is of our Universe, one is the lights of a city taken from space, one is of Virg, and one is of a group of neural cells found in your brain. (Note: This was the hardest blog post I've made as I had to travel both outside the Universe and inside your brain for two of the pictures.)
