After getting through the annual end-of-year trials — grading, shopping, grading, repeat — I caught quite the wicked cold bug. Been a-bed for a couple of days, and I’m at least a few more days from substantial recovery.
Thus, in the meantime, I direct you to one more means of getting the scale of yourself in our grand universe. This one allows you to see not only the great-bigness of it all (macroscopic), but also the itty-bittyness of it all (microscopic).

The reason for the lack of comments is everyone is in awe and feels too insignificant to even type something on their computer. I can think of a few folks who would benefit from seeing this as they seemingly feel they are the center of the universe.

It’s pretty mind-boggling, for sure.

Either everyone is in awe or (like me) is not sure how to respond after finding out how small we really are.
