If The Eagle Nebula Doesn’t Humble You,…

Found in Flickr Commons range of free-to-use photos (not just space photos, but also vintage-ish old-school pictures) I was struck by this mesmerizing picture. Look at it? Doesn’t it make you and your daily troubles feel small? Are you complaining about the weather or having caught up a cold (just like I did)?

Guess what compared to the size of the average daily “problem,” this nebula somehow gets to blow things out of proportions (citing The Joker from Batman The Dark Knight)….

So if the Eagle Nebula doesn’t humble you, maybe you really are in a pickle. A pickle larger than this whole star-creating massive aggregation of matter, that is.
