How big is space?

In our discussion about metric measurement today, I shared an infographic that gives some understanding to the extreme size of our solar system/galaxy.  We didn't have time to "keep going" past the sun so I thought I'd send it in case you/your child wanted to see it.  The graphic is below - you will need to keep scrolling for a while to see it all!
