Have you ever come across those people? You know, the ones who are so full of their own importance and think the world revolves around them?

This sort of puts it into perspective.

However 'big' they think they are they are still only one small person on this huge planet.

OK, there's the Earth itself still looking pretty big.

Now it's looking a bit less significant.

And moving on still further

Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky and over 1,000 light years away.

This is a Hubble Telescope Ultra Deep Field Infrared View of countless ENTIRE Galaxies
Billions of Light-Years Away.

And finally this is a close-up of one of the dark regions in the above image.

Suddenly that 'big guy' doesn't seem so big any more does he?
