Ah, always a bit wonderous when I'm posting links like this. It is from the Astronomy Photo of the Day website. A youtube thing, simply spectacular. Had to share.

Re: Cosmic
That does bring space and time into yet another perspective and shows how much we've yet to learn.

Re: Cosmic
I LOVE stuff like that.
We had a similar video years ago in my astronomy classes, but not nearly as good as that one.
Thank you!

Really lends perspective doesn't it? We're just a bit of flotsam in the universe.

Re: Cosmic
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity -- in all this vastness -- there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us. It's been said that astronomy is a humbling, and I might add, a character-building experience. To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.
Very well said.
