How Big We Are
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!

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.
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.
