I love stuff like this, however it does tend to make everything seem pointless, seeing as we are so small!

Whenever I see pictures like that it always reminds me of the total perspective vortex from the Hitchikers Guide.

The Total Perspective Vortex is allegedly the most horrible torture device to which a sentient being can be subjected.
When you are put into the Vortex you are given just one momentary glimpse of the entire unimaginable infinity of creation, and somewhere in it a tiny little mark, a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot, which says, "You are here".

If space (distance, volume etc) is an illusion, created by our own consciouness, the apparent 'size' of the universe becomes a lot more comprehensible.

One 'trick' you can play is to close your eyes and imagine the universe (replay the 3D video of it if you like). Effectively you've 'created' the universe inside a space not much bigger than a bowling-ball. You can even travel from our sun to Pluto in a nano-second.

It'll all become clearer when you die (again). Wink
