It ain't necessarily so! It could be tiny and we even smaller and it could be that we are just a speck on a dog turd!

Lovely view of Jupiter in the clear sky tonight
It's been pretty good all year.
I don't know if any of the others have been visible
Up your game Saturn! If you haven't already
I really want to get my telescope pointed at it but it's setup perfectly for the view of my neighbours window... Uuhh I mean...
Seriously though, it's way to effin' cold to go out there and point my peeper at a gas giant.

I've been spending a lot of time receiving audio, photos and satellite telemetry from various amateur and meteorological satellites, as well as the International Space Station. With the advent of hundreds of web-based software-defined radios, you don't even need a receiver or an antenna.
Technology is cool.
Oh yeah
I didn't stay out long
& the cats didn't even join me
Very chilly at the moment

I've actually been using radios located in Farnham and Delft.
Well that's ok then
But now stop showing off about your US weather

It's kind of a bummer switching from paying for heat to paying for air conditioning in the same week. I wish I could open the windows for a few weeks.
Here's a link to web-based raios in case anyone wants to fool around with them:
Mars is very visible in the early evening sky to the south west
Lovely sight
