Who else is blown away by this ?

Question

I watch this time and time again and i still cannot believe it, its so amazing yet too hard for the human brain to fully comprehend. The Earth and the Milky Way really are microscopic on the scale of size, and importance for sure. Enjoy it as i do, its a good video and the narrator is great.

Answer 1

There is nothing in this video that blows me away. I am already aware of all the facts raised here which is common knowledge. The best part of the video is the music at the end.

Why should you be blown away by simple facts.

Answer 2

Thanks I enjoyed that a lot.  I have enough trouble trying to get my head around how big the planet Jupiter is.  It's not only the largest planet but it's 2 1/2 times bigger than all the other planets combined.  Even Jupiter is tiny compared to the Sun. Heady stuff!  Thanks again.

Answer 3

im happy youve taken the initiative to get out of the rut of ignorance which so many people are stuck in.

like the guy a few above, they are the facts, so im amazed continually by the universe in itself, but that video is nothing special. nonethless a good start for many people.

hopefully less dimwitted theists will exist.

Answer 4

It is indeed amazing to think about. What makes those deep space photos even more special is the fact that by looking so far, we are looking back in time. All those galaxies were formed not long after the Big Bang. You can see how overcrowded space was there, with young galaxies crashing into each other.

Truly remarkable.
