The amazing universe

I’m currently reading Bill Bryson’s A Short History of Nearly Everything. I’m about halfway through it, and it’s a great book about the history of science. It got me thinking of this video. I saw it a while back, and may even blogged about it before. The video is nearly as old as me, but it’s still great and illustrates how amazing massive the universe is, and how insignificant our pale blue dot is. It also shows how amazing small atoms are. It always amazes me to think that you and everything around you, including the air, is mostly empty space.
