I was perusing one of my favorite new blogs, The Big Picture on Boston.com when I ran across the aforeshown image of Enceladus, one of the moons orbiting Saturn. It suddenly hit me more viscerally than ever before that we are on a ball in the middle of a vacuum.
I have a lot of half-baked thoughts on this that I won’t digress into, but I thought I should share the beautiful image of Enceladus and the wonderful boston.com blog.

Anyone who doesn’t believe in coincidence, whether created or not, need only to think about our relative insignificance in the universe.
from beneath the planet of the apes: In one of the countless billions of galaxies in the universe, lies a medium-sized star, and one of its satellites, a green and insignificant planet, is now dead
very cool picture though…
