Whenever I look up at the night sky for an extended amount of time, I feel like I'm going to fall up into it D:

and as we lie beneath the stars, we realize how small we really are...

Hmm, I don't know how technical you might want to get, but you can theoretically make your text any color that the computer can display ...

So, I can make

green COLOR=#00FF00

green COLOR=#00C000

green COLOR=#008000

green COLOR=#004000

green COLOR=#001000

green COLOR=#00FF80...

You enter the color as a number, with two digits for Red, two digits for Green, and two digits for Blue. The thing that will look odd to most people is that each two digit number is in hexadecimal, which is base-16. That means that we need letters to represent 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 (the letters A through F, or a-f). The '#' sign tells it that you're going to give it an RGB number instead of a color name.

So, in the first example, I made the Green as intense as possible, and turned Red and Blue all the way off. Then I gradually reduced the Green intensity until it's almost black (all zeros.) In the last one, though, I added a bit of Blue, to give an aquamarine sort of color.

You can find color chooser dialog boxes on most platforms, including Windows, that lets you select a color and obtain its RGB number. Or you can just fiddle with it, if you get bored. :-)

Sedsed puter is me being 2 lazy to write computer

Ciel I agree I have actually felt like that many times

Smallstar that is a beautiful thought

Malign I am puter challenged I think it's awesome that u figured all that out. Just reading it made my brain hurt but tyvm for the knowledge:D

Has anyone else ever just looked up at the vastness of a night sky and felt how small we really r?

All the time. That's why I like camping so much or more specifically, backpacking. When you get so far away from everything and the only sounds are the crackling of the campfire; the only lights are of the stars filling the night sky. I get lost in the vastness of it all.

Then, the technical side of me makes it even worse. Lol! Proxima Centauri is the closest star to us, beyond our own sun. And it is about 4 light years away. With the speed of light being 186,000 miles per second, that makes the distance 186,000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365.25 * 4 or 23,478,854,400,000 miles away. That's trillion! To give some perspective, the space shuttle travels near 15,000 miles per hour as it blasts into orbit. At this incredible speed, it would take 178,560 years to reach Proxima Centauri. And that's just the CLOSEST star. There are billions of stars in our galaxy alone and beyond that, billions of galaxies in the KNOWN universe.

NOW do we feel a little small? And yet, part of something big and wonderful at the same time.
