Why does my passport and driver’s license picture always come out like the first pancake, messed tore beat *&^%$@ up!

There must be some sadistic handbook circulating that says make ‘em ugly. Let them stand there long enough before you take the picture and wait until they have to scratch or have an involuntary muscle spasm, whichever comes first. Take the picture!

I had my passport photo taken earlier this week and I look ghastly. My glasses are crooked, my hair is flattened on one side, only one side of my mouth smiled, I look like I had a stroke!

I can just imagine that there is some wall of fame for the ugliest passport or driver’s license photo at their company picnics. Top prize goes to the institution that submits the “I’m Not Too Sexy” photograph of the year. Now when people tell me I look so familiar, I just might start getting offended.

I wonder if it’s called a passport because they look at our photo and give us a pass into the country anyway. I didn’t feel or look like road kill when I went to have my picture taken. Sorry.

These pictures give you a different perspective seeing them side by side. I thought they were cool, then I started looking up the plants/stars and I got carried away. Well you learn something new everyday and who knows, these facts could be final Jeopardy answers. Of course, we recently learned that Pluto is no longer a planet, but a dwarf planet….not to be considered a true planet. So when it comes to planets, size does matter. Happy Thursday!

Planets1

Distance from the Earth to the Sun: 93,020,000 miles (149,669,180 km)
Earth distance to the Moon: 238,857 miles (384,403.1 km)

Planets2

One hundred and nine Earths would be required to fit across the Sun’s disk.
The suns interior could hold over 1.3 million Earths.

Planets3

Arcturus is the brightest star in the constellation Bootes. It’s the fourth brightest star in the night sky.
Pollux is the brightest star in the constellation Gemini and one of the brightest in the nighttime sky.
Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. Intrinsically, Sirius is over 20 times brighter than our Sun and over twice as massive. ~Wikipedia

Planets4

Jupiter is the most massive planet in our solar system. In 2003 alone, astronomers discovered 23 new moons orbiting the giant planet, giving Jupiter a total moon count of 49 officially named — the most in the solar system. Read more…

Planets5

Who ever heard of these stars? They look like bowling balls, actually they all do. I’ve seen some balls that resemble plants, maybe that’s where ball makers get their designs.

While Betelgeuse is cooler than the Sun, it is more massive and over 1000 times larger….more

Antares is a huge star. In a class called red supergiant, Antares is about 700 times the diameter of our own Sun, 15 times more massive, and 10,000 times brighter. Antares is the brightest star in the constellation of Scorpius and one of the brighter stars in all the night sky….more

I believe they were taken in Germany, not by me, just sharing. Each picture is a hyperlink to a slightly larger picture of the same kind….Enjoy! I do not own the copyright to these photos.

Uh, enjoy? EDIT: I made the pictures hyperlinks so you can view them in their original size. I did not take these photos.
