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... :)
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

It is mind boggling at both end of the scale.  What a terrific presentation.  Even Tufte would approve.
When all else fails hug the dog.
