The POV simulation of light leaving the sun and travelling through the solar system puts it into perspective. It takes 8 minutes and 12second to reach Earth. Then it flashes through us, and past the moon, in less than a second.It's funny when you watch SCI-FI films and they 'zoom' from one solar system to another in no time....and this journey a few miles above earth will take 27 hours.
That's not to downplay these incredible achievements btw.
