This was sent to me today. Pretty cool how minute and insignifcant we are in relation to the big picture.

There's a lot of space. Not only "out there", but "in there", too.

Cool link. Thanks. But I don't buy the insignificance thing. The "big picture" would just be any other picture if we weren't here to figure it out and appreciate it.
