Who said anything about being depressed? It’s a fact, we are insignificant in the universe. Less than a rounding error. I am simply acknowledging it.

It doesn’t make me feel like anything, other than trying to imagine the universes’ vastness - in an attempt at futility. I don’t think my mind (or any human mind) can ever truly fathom it.

The image in question is likely a blow up of a point in the sky that’s 1mmx1mm, about the size of a grain of sand, and it is rich with many many galaxies, way more than we can see - if you account for the vast and infinite depth. The Milky Way is said to have 400 billion stars. So if there are a 1000 galaxies present in the image, that’s trillions of stars in a square mm of the sky.

I think it’s pretty darn empowering to think your life’s problems mean that less, one part in numbers so large I can’t even pronounce. Don’t you think?
