When I scroll through my Facebook feed there are often the same generic quotations and pictures of family and friends showing the best bits of their lives, but the other day a picture of the Andromeda Galaxy, stating that it “is the sharpest view of the Andromeda Galaxy ever, showing more than 100 million stars!” Here is a video showing just that.
The picture blew my mind. It began zoomed in and slowly zoomed out, eventually showing the image in full. We are finding from the James Webb telescope that the number of stars in the universe are many many times more than we thought. My point is that we can get so caught up in little things in our lives, but it helps to reflect on things like the enormity of the universe to put our lives into perspective.
