July 18th, 2018: Galaxies
This is the sky, well part of the sky, and every little speck of infrared light is a galaxy, you insignificant worm.
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is about 100,000 light-years across, and it’s packed with at least 100 billion stars. It would make but a tiny dot on this image. Quote:

That said, the Vortex is real; I can almost not stand to consider things like this for very long. It's just incomprehensible.
Kinda makes me wonder how earlier humans felt. They didn't understand anything scientific. How much of the world gave them that level of angst? |

They just accepted the sky was the domain of the gods and they would take care of it.

I have a old cartoon in one of many books of such around here with a well-drawn, hefty battle ax type of woman gazing out at the stars of the universe and proclaiming:
"Well they don't make ME feel insignificant!" |
