I am having one of those nights where I dont know if I want to cry or dance. My heart feels like it wants to explode and I don't know why. When my mood typically gets like this I drive up to Red Rock and look out over the expanse of desert and realize just how small I am. I can't do that right now though, because it is 9pm and Red Rock is dark

There are 6,868,700,000 people out there on Earth. It would take up 1 million Earths to fill up the sun. The Sun is a yellow dwarf star, that is 4 billion years old and only has 5 more billion years left to live. The largest star ever found is 300 times bigger and 10 million times brighter than our little Sun.

Our solar system only started up 4.5 billion years ago, anyway. An we only have a recorded amount of history of 120,000 years of it. Not considering that the we are finding our first steps taken on Earth were 6-7 million years ago.

If that doesn't make you feel just how small we really are, I can go on to try and fit in this little comment box how many zeroes the universe itself might measure, in comparison to us.
