Hey guys in this post I hope to make you feel like we're little mammals hanging on to the green moss covering our tiny rock rotating around a small yellow nuclear light bulb in a remote, insignificant section of a relatively puny galaxy in a negligible corner of an inconceivably vast universe that may be part of an even larger pattern of multiverses.

The milky way with our location (Compare with the Galaxy chart to see how small we are)

Now heres an interesting video comparing all of our planets and our sun to another star including the biggest star discovered.

This video shows the milky way compared to all of the other galaxies we have mapped so far.

Have fun trying to wrap your head around how small we are, hope you guys like my somewhat poorly made post!

I do to as well, it would take one very close minded person to not think there is at least possibility of other life out there.

I agree with you, it would only make so much more sense.
