Incredible. These are just stars yet they dwarf our entire existence to the point where we could consider our insignificance to be infinite; there are about 300,000,000,000 stars in our galaxy and as many galaxies in the known universe. If you guys are interested I've found a video depicting a similar comparison for our own galaxy to the size of others.

If VY Canis Majoris was placed at the center of our solar system, it would extend past the orbit of Saturn. And Saturn takes almost 30 years to make a full rotation around the sun. Woah dude.

Kinda depressing. Kinda motivating to not give a fuck.

or to realize how fragile we are, and be amazed at how long we have survived as a species with everything that's been piled against us.

[–]Superlolz 1 point2 points ago

We've survived a very short amount of time relative to the age of universe.

We're so insignificant, and so easily destroyed. Small, and useless to this universe. It's sad really. Almost like our existence is one big joke. But who's laughing? What's the point of us being here? WHAT IS THE POINT? Everything I do seems so meaningless now.

You're made of the same stuff as everything else in the universe. We are the universe admiring itself. I don't know, I get pretty fucking depressed if I don't remind myself of things like that.

You are not SMALL compared to the Universe. You are the tiniest of specks existing on the tiniest of planets in the tiniest of solar systems in the tiniest of galaxies. You are an insignificant speck in the tiniest, most remote place you could possibly imagine, and nothing you do will ever truly impact anything of importance. With that in mind, remember that you are child of those great, huge, wondrous things. Remember that whatever you do, does not matter in the grand scheme of things, but we are proud that you are part of us, as a child amongst the rest of us, you are one of us and we are more then eager to welcome you, console you, and praise you for the tiny, remote, insignificant things that you have done, and will do.

Hm, this gif was cut. After the last frame there is usually another that dwarfs everything that was shown before. "OPs mum".
