Everyone knows the universe is big. So big that we don't know for sure how big. The size or vastness of it is expressed in many different ways, but a lot of those examples are so gigantic our minds can't grasp the reality of it. For instance how far is a thousand light years?

Here though is a short interesting video that gives some examples of size related to the universe that is both interesting and within our minds ability to grasp and marvel.
