Great find Lunican! Putting the Universe in perspective shows just how small/insignificant/vulnerable this tiny blue marble is. It also shows me that life... is very likely common within the billions of galaxies out there... :)

It is mind boggling at both end of the scale. What a terrific presentation. Even Tufte would approve.
