What’s amazing is all the other galaxies in the pictures that look so insignificant. Each is made up of tens of billions of stars with probably a trillion planets each.

How insignificant we truly are in the grand scheme of things, and yet we think we’re so important.

What I always find so mind blowing about these super hi-rez Hubble shots is the multitude of galaxies in the background.

Just contemplating what they could have living in them, so far away and unknowable..........

Robin: Gosh, Batman. The nobility of the almost-human porpoise.
Batman: True, Robin. It was noble of that animal to hurl himself into the path of that final torpedo. He gave his life for ours.
