We all know that the universe is huge and the Earth is small, but let's put that into perspective.

Wow, the Earth looks big on that picture! Actually it's too big to fit in the picture.

Oh well, the Earth is not that big after all. But the Sun is HUGE!

Huge? Not really. THIS is huge!

Canis Majoris must be that glowing thing in the middle of the galaxy. Nope.

Then our galaxy must be huge, right? No, IC 1101 is huge. Is it?

Not at all. From a distance, the biggest galaxy is (almost) lost in space.

As you can see, we're even smaller than we think. We're almost non-existent. So whenever life gets tough, think of how small we are ... and all the problems will seem small too.

Life is a miracle. Enjoy it!

Great images . Thanks for sharing.

Hi Miha - great post, that gets across the point of how small we actually are.

I don't think many people really get just how BIG space is.

All the best, Mark

I agree, this infinite size of the universe is quite hard to comprehend. Thanks Mark, I'm glad you liked the post.

The human race has advanced because people have had the courage to dream big not dream small, our physical size is irrelevant its out faith that has the power to be infinite

As for problems when people feel suicidal they feel like the whole world is against them and they feel so small, it is only when they think big do they survive

We are not small, we are infinitely powerful

Gandhi changed a whole continent and brought down an empire with the flowing tools

A walking stick and his words

He beat all the weapons of the modern world singe handed with just words and a walking stick, I bet he did not think we were small

Barry

Thank you Barry for your valuable opinion, I really appreciate it. But no matter how big and powerful we think we are, Earth is still just a dust speck in the universe.

life truly is a miracle. Thanks for sharing this!

Wow, I guess I really impressed you. Usually your comment is "great stuff" or "very cool" :)

Amazing images,well done.

Thank you.

Excellent perspective, Michaal. Love those pictures, as I'm fascinated with space.

Thank you. It is fascinating. Fascination with space drove me to make this post.

Thank you. I like your way of looking at problems. And I agree with Jayne62... the pictures really show it all beautifully.

Thank you. Yes, pictures show it all ... so do you think my comments are a bit redundant? I added them to make post more entertaining.

not at all, its nice to read your comments and see what your thoughts are about things, it encourages engagement from readers and more interaction :)

No - the comments were perfect. They guided the reader's eyes and mind perfectly to the next picture encouraging better thought processes and, as Jayne says, more interaction.

really like this post, the pics just tell it all,keeps it in perspective really :)

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
