I think you meant to write - insignificant. And I'd say you had it right, by error, the first time.
What you see in the distant past are spectacular plasma and gas formations on a scale almost unimaginable - in the cold of space. What you have, on earth, today, is a habitable planet, with billions of people. And I think the latter is far more significant, and more spectacular in other ways.
Every intuitive judgement could be in error.
