Geeking out at the end of the universe

the other thing i've been into lately is astronomy. yup, astronomy. minus the complex mathematics that's needed to fully understand it. i'm content at the moment to just soak in the pictures and come to the humble realization that i am not at all important in any sort of cosmic sense. enough blather, look at these pics.

There's so much out there. If you can imagine, say there are a million galaxies (there are more, but for example's sake here). And in each galaxy, there are a million stars (again, there are more in reality). And even if just half of those stars have planets orbiting around them. think of how many fucking planets that is. jesus.

ok, enough thinking. here's another pic to make you cry out sweet moses and feel like a blip on the grand radar of the universe.
