Now, THIS is really fascinating -- it’s rather dazzling to see it presented this way.

I CERTAINLY THOUGHT THIS WAS ENLIGHTENING.
BEYOND OUR SUN … IT’S A BIG UNIVERSE.

ANTARES IS THE 15TH BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE SKY.
IT IS MORE THAN 1000 LIGHT YEARS AWAY.

NOW TRY TO WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND THIS………

THIS IS A HUBBLE TELESCOPE ULTRA DEEP FIELD
INFRARED VIEW OF COUNTLESS “ENTIRE” GALAXIES
BILLIONS OF LIGHT-YEARS AWAY.

DARKEST REGIONS OF THE PHOTO ABOVE.

HUMBLING, ISN’T IT?

AND HOW BIG ARE THE THINGS THAT UPSET YOU TODAY?

This was taken from a satellite millions of miles away. It took a picture every 15 minutes while the moon was transitioning in front of our planet. It’s a pretty amazing view.

This video is a trip. It’s kinda long, just over 6 minutes, but worth watching. It gives you perspective on how insignificant we are in the cosmos. This video is composed of images taken from the Hubble Telescope far into space giving us a spectacular view of our neighboring galaxies, we have BILLIONS of neighbors. Check out the video. It’ll change how you view our tiny little planet Earth.
