We get into a lot of talks about the the Solar system, and our galaxy - the Milky Way. For most the size of our galaxy, let alone our Solar system, is beyond comprehension.

We're talking galaxies:

With anywhere from 10 million to a 100 trillion stars!!

For those that can fathom it - it's never without inspiring awe in the scale of it. The Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex is the second largest proper noun known to man.

This is the Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex, we live in the Virgo Supercluster towards the middle. (These are all galaxies)

This is the Virgo Supercluster, we live in the ever so imaginatively named "Local group" of galaxies

Here are some of our neighboring galaxies. Don't be shy!

And that's just OUR Supercluster Complex! We can see dozens

And that's not even getting into the walls of the universe!

(Hint: Don't lick them)

I hope this helps put perspective on anything troubling. In the grand scheme, we're just a speck!

Never feel alone!

I filmed that on a recent trip to see what was left of my old home near Betelgeuse. The first pair of stars I passed was in the Centauri group. Then I went by the andromeda galaxy which is in our local group. By then I was so drunk I don't where I went but I woke up in the Betelguese solar system.

BTW - Betelguese has supernovaed and you have about 6 months to find a new solar system. I just bought a nice place on Ceti Alpha 5.

you are not meant to say that 3 times..

I love this video. It's set to one of my favorite FC Kahuna songs, "Hayling".

I had a dream many years ago where a "presence," for lack of a better word, took me to a place where I could view the entire universe. It was an amazing view, and it game me much more perspective on things. In the scope of thoughts, the universe (physical reality) is a mere speck.

Auto-correct is a hoot! It's gave, not "game."
