Our Awesome Universe

A fascinating view and perspective of the Cosmos 




BEYOND OUR SUN ... IT'S A BIG UNIVERSE. 





ANTARES IS THE 15TH BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE SKY.
IT IS MORE THAN 1000 LIGHT YEARS AWAY.

 
------------------------------------------------------------------

NOW TRY TO WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND THIS.........
Each galaxy in the universe contains hundreds of billions of stars.
THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF GALAXIES IN THE UNIVERSE.
THIS IS A HUBBLE TELESCOPE ULTRA DEEP FIELD INFRARED VIEW OF COUNTLESS "ENTIRE" GALAXIES BILLIONS OF LIGHT-YEARS AWAY.  YES, EACH OBJECT AND EACH POINT OF LIGHT IS AN ENTIRE GALAXY WITH HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF STARS IN IT. 



 BELOW IS A CLOSE UP OF ONE OF THE DARKEST REGIONS ABOVE.


HUMBLING, ISN'T IT?

SO,

 
HOW BIG ARE THE THINGS THAT UPSET YOU TODAY?

KEEP LIFE IN PERSPECTIVE.


AND DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF!
