    What a nice reminder that space is huge, beautiful and terrifying.

      It really is mind boggling how massive the universe is. Quite a humbling feeling.

        I plan to study Astronomy, but I'm worried that instead of finding out where I am in the universe, I will become more lost. But then again, is being lost in the universe really such a bad thing?

    What an incredible image. I'm even more interested just looking at the sun rather than the flare.

    Images like this really put into perspective just how small we are. Any random cosmic event, and BAM! the Earth gets wiped out. everything that has ever happened on this planet will we lost to the universe.
