This is an astounding rendering of the entirety of the known universe. It really gives you a sense of perspective. Our planet is just one infinitesimally tiny spec of dust in relation to the rest of the cosmos. The span of one human life, even the amount of time that life has existed on this planet, is nothing in relation to the billions of years that have come before us. The expanse of space that we haven't yet even begun to observe and explore is staggering in its own right.
I've been waiting for visualizations based on scientific data like this since I was a just a kid. I've got to start hanging out with more scientists...
