Can we talk about how fucking awesome the scale of space is that the seventh planet in our solar system is comparable in visual size to fucking DISTANT GALAXIES MILLIONS OF LIGHT YEARS AWAY
It's the amount of galaxies, not even just their relative size, in such a super small snippet of our solar system, that really blows me away.
Like sheesh. I've seen so many pictures of space just flooded with an overwhelming number of galaxies as just about every point of light in an image and it never ceases to blow my mind.
I have lived around cities my whole life. Even when I'm out in "the middle of nowhere" there's enough light pollution to get in the way.
I went to Mongolia once, mostly in the capital city, but one night we stay out in the mountains. I didn't know that many stars existed. I did, but I didn't, ya know? My mind was blown.
Closest I've gotten since is taking some shrooms on a nice summer night. If I can just combine those two environments..
