"Space, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."
(from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams)

I'm watching (another) documentary about our universe (because it's so fascinating, I can spend hours to look at this wonderful starry sky) and it's really scary to imagine (or try to) how "vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is" and how beautifully dangerous it is.
But what is amazing is that everything is linked, the planets, solar systems, galaxies, black holes, nebulas, pulsars, quasars.... everything is part of where we all come and we're all gonna go back.
it's... (as Spock would say) fascinating.
