Have you ever sat and contemplated the vastness of the universe?
As you well know, we earthlings inhabit a single planet that orbits a single star.
But consider this…
There are billions of stars just in our own Milky Way galaxy – and there are billions of other galaxies in the universe.
By anyone’s calculation, that adds up to a lot of stars.
Of course we can only see a tiny fraction of those stars with our naked eyes from our vantage point on the Earth’s surface, but we can see vastly more of them via the magic of time-lapse photography.
The fascinating time-lapse video featured below shows a tiny portion of our Milky Way galaxy, and I find those views to be absolutely breathtaking. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
While you’re watching the video be sure to keep in mind that all the stars you’re seeing probably don’t even equate to a drop of water in all the Earth’s oceans compared to the total number of stars in the universe.
And now, I invite you to watch and enjoy…
Note: As always, you can watch the video at full screen by clicking the “square” icon in the lower-right corner of the video after it begins playing. And as you can imagine, this video really must be viewed at full screen in order to fully enjoy it.
Pretty amazing (and humbling) stuff, am I right? I love videos like this that showcase the awesome beauty and vastness of the world we have all been blessed with.
