Mindblown. Where does the estimated size of the universe come from? It's too bad more people don't appreciate this kind of stuff. There's so much beyond this little blue planet that humans will never see. And I only went up on the scale haha!

It sometimes really depresses me not merely that I will likely not live long enough to see "what's out there", but that humanity as a whole will probably never be able to explore much beyond our own solar system.
