These shots scare me!
I get panic attacks trying to accept how big the universe is...
All those pretty galaxy shots, but they contain solar systems, new worlds, possible life, and they are all swirly!
Hey, even the Moon shots make me laugh out loud. First time I saw Saturn thru a scope, I thought someone had pasted a photo on the mirror. My neighbour and I just stood there laughing at just how great it looked. We still have a look, but his equipment has changed somewhat since that night 3, maybe 4 years ago. |

Would this image work for this challenge?
Edit to add: without added text, of course!

| Reminds me of Chapter 10 of The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, "For when you are put into the Total Perspective Vortex you are given just one momentary glimpse of the entire unimaginable infinity of creation, and somewhere in it a tiny little marker, a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot, which says, "You are here." |

I love that overwhelming feeling of insignificance, it keeps me humble.
A new theory:
If you have the time to watch the entire video (1 hour) it's quite intriguing with some great ideas/questions. //video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4773590301316220374
