<p>When you see the Burj Khalifa photoshopped into New York City&rsquo;s skyline, glimpse a B-2 bomber on an NFL football field or spot the largest scorpion that ever lived creeping up next to a cat, you get a better sense of just how big these things are. Kevin Wisbeth, who created the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp_Lh-yO0s05bim7QByv2Ow?annotation_id=annotation_2753675241&amp;feature=iv&amp;src_vid=HohCmrK1lFo&amp;sub_confirmation=1">YouTube series &lsquo;A Quick Perspective,&rsquo;</a> offers up a bunch of digitally altered images mashing together various images and objects to give people a real sense of scale.</p>

<p>&ldquo;These are all concept images that don&rsquo;t seem appealing enough for a video,&rdquo; he says &ndash; but the results are stunning nonetheless, starting with the 1,729-foot Willis Tower (the second-tallest building in the United States) placed inside the Mir Mine, one of the deepest mines in the world (pictured top.) The second depicts the 882-foot-long Titanic atop the deck of the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan, which measures 1,092 feet in length.</p>

<p>The Pulmonoscorpius kirktonensis, or Breathing Scorpion, was a prehistoric arachnid that grew up to 24 inches long, or about the size of a contemporary house cat.</p>

<p>The M-1 Rocket motor, designed in the &lsquo;50s, was never actually built &ndash; but if it had been, it would have boasted a diameter large enough to fully cover a Smart Car with two feet left over on either side.</p>

<p>The Dionysus asteroid, which is part of the Apollo asteroid belt and contains resources estimated to be worth $2.6 trillion dollars, &ldquo;wouldn&rsquo;t even surpass the bridge span&rdquo; of the Golden Gate Bridge if placed above it.</p>

<p>The Burj Khalifa pokes into the sky above Manhattan, easily surpassing One World Trade Center by almost 1,000 feet and the Empire State Building by 1,300 feet. It&rsquo;s currently the tallest structure in the world at 2,722 feet tall.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Although the Death Star doesn&rsquo;t exist in reality, it&rsquo;s truly the biggest and most bad-ass machine ever conceived. The Death Star&rsquo;s estimated width is around 99 miles across, or around 1/4 the length of Florida.&rdquo;</p>
