Banana scale

  A couple problems here:

  1. The image resolution isn’t high enough for a banana to be visible at this scale.
  2. This isn’t the Milky Way (it’s impossible to take a picture from outside our own galaxy), so bananas do not exist there. This means the banana would have to be photoshopped in, in which case you might as well photoshop a map scale.

  Nice picture, but I call BS 🤔

    so bananas do not exist there

    This guy honestly doesn’t believe in panbanania.

      The theory that the universe was seeded with banana life by an intergalactic precursor race of bananas? It’s possible, but so far there is no hard evidence, and I don’t think OP is claiming to have taken a picture of an alien banana.

    Of course this isn’t our galaxy, that’s why OP was so kind to add the missing banana for us

    Pinch to zoom, brah.

    How do you know bananas don’t exist outside of our galaxy?

    That second point just isn’t true. We have pictures of other galaxies

      With bananas for scale?

    Edit: Omg, I forgot to mention the most obvious giveaway. Our supermassive black hole doesn’t have a quasar! Busted!

    There could be a teapot in there somewhere though.

      Let’s assume there is one until someone proves otherwise.

    Pretty easy to get an Andromeda shot that includes banana for scale

    If the universe is infinite, there most certainly are bananas on an infinite number of planets.

    I don’t believe you, if this isn’t our galaxy how did he get the banana in the picture?

    Every banana in existence is in this picture.

  I like how you put it where (you thought) nobody would look.

    It’s either very very small or very very large.

  I never fully grasped the true scale of a single galaxy (and then expanded that understanding to the observable universe) until I hopped in my ship in Elite Dangerous and actually set off to cross one. Holy fucking shit, does it really help put it into perspective when you’re traveling between vast galactic arms, hopping individual stars 50-70 Ly at a time and trying your damndest not to stretch yourself too thin in fear of running out of scoopable fuel/stars.

  If I were an Astronomy teacher, Elite would be my most profound and precious tool.

  You really should eat that banana before it goes bad. I see spots on it and one area looks soft and bruised.

  I can’t seem to find the banana all that easily.

  …your mom though. she’s clearly visible at this scale.

  This would be funnier if there were a gigantic banana floating in space

  You got me. I leaned in to find the banana.

  I need a red circle to show me where the banana is.

    There’s a red circle the size of Earth in there

  This reminds me of an Italo Calvino short story about a guy doing backyard telescope observatory space viewing (whew) and he spots someone holding a sign on a distant start stating “I know what you did”. The viewer now starts calculating exactly where he would have been at the time including light speed and distance light travels to reach him and all sorts of other calcs until he determines the time in the past and finally realizes “Whoa! He saw that!?”.
