Kinda off topic, but there is nothing like watching this GIF about stars to make you feel insignificant.

If you really want to feel insignificant watch this:

Wow. That video was amazing. It made feel so insignificant, but at the same time I didn't care because I was so lost in my thoughts. Plus it was Carl Sagan :9

For as long as our universe has been around, all 13.72 billion years of its existance, has only been moments in the time of our host creatures life.

Each dog, cat, or rodent. Every ape, chimp, or human. A flower. A shrub. A tree. Individually each of these living organisms plays host to an infinite amount of universes. Your appendix has hundreds of billions of universes, and when it was removed when you were 10, an uncountable number of living things died. Because, you see, in each of those universes inside your appendix there are trillions upon trillions upon trillions of living, breathing, beings. Creatures that live on planets in solar systems that are part of a infinitely small universe in the makeup of a single atom inside your body. And in those entities there is more atoms, and even more universes that consist of even more living creatures.

Ponder over this for awhile.

Great stuff, i check the science channel every night for stuff like this. Looking at this really makes you wonder what the possibilities could be.....

And yet, people still believe we are the only form of "intelligent" life out there and the universe centers around us and our religion/beliefs are right and everyone else out there is wrong...man I love science, but hate it when people are ignorant of the facts and try to make sense of something that we as humans cannot possibly understand. We are probably one of the lowest forms of life in the universe and we're probably being laughed at by how feeble we are and how stupid we look by the things we say/do. It wouldn't surprise if we are really just an experiment, kind of a like ants on a farm...

heh. i always liked the end of "men in black" (the first one) where it shows all the known galaxies inside a marble being played with by more significant beings.

Astrophotography is really a neat hobby. Something I'd really like to get into, but you gotta drive WAY out of populated areas to get truly good photographs.
