In honor of orbit insertion of the Rosetta Spacecraft, I am pleased to share this rather awesome to-scale size comparison of the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet she will be orbiting.
To give you an idea of how big the Galaxy Class Starships are, here is a cool graphic comparison to several spacecraft as well as 2 real world military vessels.
And finally, the Rosetta spacecraft herself in the cleanroom:
This came up in my news feed on Facebook. I know that there are at least a few people on here that know that I am a huge science and space geek and these comparisons I always find cool.

That's where the lead picture came from. But, no. I will check it out. It looks cool but I feel like my phone will not do it justice so it will have to wait until tomorrow.
