This is the first installment of a series which is aimed at those who are curious to learn some astronomy. I don't go into huge technical detail, but try to connect the large numbers and scale of the cosmos with everyday things which people can easily relate to.

I 'borrowed' some footage and images from NASA, Wikipedia, Google and various other sources, for which I'm grateful and hope I haven't infringed any copyrights. 

Many of the calculations are my own extrapolations. If anyone spots any errors, I'd be grateful if they could let me know and I'll put them right.
