Gorgeous photos!

I’m glad he recovered from that disastrous infatuation he struggled with in his youth.

I guess technically it does put the size of the Sun in perspective. But since the Sun is something like 50% further away than Mercury in that picture, perspective actually understates how big it is by quite a bit. That’s why there’s no market for G-type stars on eBay, people simply don’t have the storage space.

That’s in the same vein as Birdsongs of the Mesozoic, and Mission of Burma.
It works!
