"Deep Thoughts" In Astronomy


"Astronomy taught us our insignificance in nature" --Ralph Waldo Emerson

I really like this particular quote because whenever I think about space/astronomy, I'm conflicted with how important the Earth is to us and humans' actions, but in the big picture, we are very insignificant.  There is activity going on millions of lightyears away without bounds, things happening that we as humans cannot even fathom.
