   One notable idea is that light might have   
   a somewhat constant speed regardless of the   
   observer.  Some times called 'c'.  So the   
   'big bang' is an inference about the   
   red shift of galaxies.  Distance and time   
   might be related in some ways.   
      
   The Moon is about 20 times the distance of the   
   Earth's antipode across the Earth's circumference.   
      
   Both Mercury and Mars are 200 times farther away   
   than the Moon at closest approach.  At farthest   
   distance in their orbits, Mercury is 600 times   
   farther than the distance between the Earth and   
   the Moon.  Mars is 1000.  Then the moons of Jupiter   
   are 2000 times the distance from the Earth to the   
   Moon and adding or subtracting one Astronomical   
   Unit is not quite as great.   
      
   Here is an 'atlas of the universe' from somewhere   
   near Birmingham, England (there is not just one   
   in Alabama).  (Or, well, maybe it is turtles all   
   the way down.)
