Humbling? Not for me...

I found this picture a few days ago.

It shows Earth compared to the rest of the universe. Supposedly, it's suppose to show how insignificant we are. I found quite the opposite. It showed me what I've long held to be true... *I* am the center of the universe.

Well of course Earth is the centre of the observable universe, since we're observing the universe from Earth.

Reminded me of a famous quote:

"To prevent war the galaxy is on Orion's belt."

Deal with it kids. There is no free lunch, or pie in the sky for that matter.

(Whoops, a carry-over from a conversation with one of my younger passengers this afternoon. Sorry. )

This was a pretty cool sequence of images- it wasn't humbling per say for me, but rather interesting.

I like things like this too. I found this one on Tumblr last year and had to save it.
