Love these scales. Somewhere online there's a page that explains it in terms of grains of sand in a sandbox. The Milky Way has about as many stars as a 20' diameter sandbox has grains of sand. The Earth is totally insignificant even in that one. And then picture that one sandbox surround by billions of others, spaced about two miles from each other. And that's how insignificant our own galaxy is. To think we're special is just the most arrogant notion I've ever heard of.
