This is stunning work. Bravo! I feel so small and insignificant right now. And that's not a bad thing.

- dylan604 5y agoThat's one of my favorite aspects of astronomy. To the universe, we're (Earth) just a spec on a dot. The stepping away from all of the things that seem so stressingly important and realize that it's only us that feels that stress and the universe really absolutely doesn't give a shit. It always helps me to give less of a shit too.
- monkeydust 5y agoSo true. If I happen to be do something new, high risk or making me stress out thinking about it in context of the larger universe (and staring at these pictures help) quickly puts me at ease. Very effective. I have passed this to others over the years.
