Long View

So if you happened, for some reason, to feel a little disgusted with the world and think everything's a wee bit rotten, you might look at this picture:


Called the Coma Cluster of Galaxies, it's a shot in which almost everything you see is a galaxy like our own Milky Way. Since Ye Olde MW contains billions of stars, you can quickly get a sense of how scary big the universe really is, and place things like President Trump and a useless press corps that won't stop talking about his extramarital affairs in their proper place in the universe.

Miniscule.
