I’ve often wondered how scientists know the number of galaxies in the universe. Then I saw the video below. I cried when I watched this because I was so overwhelmed with the enormity–and beauty–of our universe.

We make our world significant by the courage of our questions, and by the depth of our answers. –Carl Sagan
We forget our place, both in how insignificant we are and in how special we are. Let this video give you some perspective. I hope you enjoy it as much as I.
