      One day it will gobble us up. We toil about trump and Putin, but in the end the house wins.

      I wish my brain could understand the absurd scale of this photo. A plant is a tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny portion of just one pixel here. It’s so incompressibly large that I can’t do anything with this photo besides admire how pretty it is to look at.

      And then toy think about it: this galaxy is just a tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny portion of the universe at large.

      I can never tell if stuff like this is awesome or haunting. I always get so bummed by all of the unknowns out there & around the universe at large that I will never get to find out. (well, unless there is something grander happening behind the scenes but a discussion on “how” and “why” is its own can of worms for my ape brain)

      There has to be life in that thing. Like look at the billions of stars. And to think, they can see our galaxy like we can see theirs! I wonder how bright the Milky Way is to them
