The Earth and Moon from 114 million miles away

It is an image that should put us firmly in our place.
Set against the inky blackness of space our Earth can be seen with the smaller Moon orbiting around it from a distance of around 114 million miles.
Taken by Nasa's Messenger deep space probe the incredible image illustrates how insignificant we really are.

The size of the sun has always put me in my place. It is huge and still not the center of the universe. Just shows how small humanity is.

 

Yeap Jordan.. we are all unimportant. As all of us. And nevertheless, we want to be someone and we want to be happy.
Everybody feels pain and joy.

Sometimes I am really not sure, if I am just an imagination in my own constructed world..If you ever had an experience that wasn´t possible for you to handle- than you "leave your body "and see yourself- it´s similar like that. But it helps to see your "big" problems" as that what they are- unimportant, as you are yourself..

 

If you think that's crazy, you should check out the scaled size comparisons between our sun and super/hypergiants.

 

Love this stuff. Reminds me that life has infinite possibilities.
