Serge.......My view of life is, if it is totally out of my control there is no use worrying about it. I have enough going on just trying to handle that which I can control. In 120 years there won't be a single person still alive on earth that presently lives today. Sooner or later each of us is destined to vanish. C'est la vie.

Default How small we are
This map (if you can read it...) shows just how miniscule we are in the grand scheme of things. If you haven't seen it before, this National Geographic map of the Universe uses "leaps of scale" to illustrate the location and relative size of our galaxy, our neighborhood in that galaxy, and finally our solar system.

Edit: I've installed a link that provides a much higher resolution view. It may take longer to display, but well worth it.
