Galaxies like grains of sand... It's been said that the galaxies of our universe are more numerous than all the grains of sand on our planet. Realizing that this image is but a tiny slice of the visible sky, one can't help but ponder that fact in all its enormity.

Galaxies Like Grains of Sand is also the evocative title of science fiction work by Brian Aldiss published in 1960. I read that book over and over until I literally wore it out; it captured my imagination and sense of wonder as few books or writers have since.
I think I'll have to find a copy...
