I'm posting this because one of my (closet) hobbies is learning every single inch of modern astronomy. I love pondering how small we are in the scheme of things, and hopefully this video might give you the same chilling, yet somehow calming feeling of knowing that to the Universe, we are nothing.

Hope you enjoy : )

We may be pretty small, but we have a lot of cool stuff going on. For all we know life may be common too, but that remains to be seen.

Size matters not. :p

Oh, this is what you like doing when you are not getting nipple rings or being tied up by GF on the phone?

Thanks for sharing. I love these " earth " is so insignificant compared to the universe typed videos :D Makes you really think about what's out there.

I've always said if I could have one wish granted it would be to know everything about the universe. My head would instantly explode, but for that one second I could finally answer the one unanswered question...

In my ideal afterlife, I would love to just be able to fly (faster than light) around the Universe, looking at all the crazy things out there.

Haha I love the end of the video, but technically, since space is infinite, you can say you are the center of the universe. (Though I despise people who think they are)
