I remember a similar video, and how I was hopelessly looking for a similar picture I could use on the blog one of the times 😀 (failed to find it..) This looks so much prettier than the old one I saw 🙂 it truly is baffling when you look at it like that, isn’t it.
Yeah, very much baffling and amazing. I try not to think about how insignificant we all are in the grand scheme of the Universe.
