Each week, the European Space Agency publishes a series of images. It’s like a weekly photo diary focused on the cosmos. It’s awesome.
In March they published the highest resolution photo of the sun ever taken. They also included in the top right corner a scale image of the Earth—you’ll need to zoom in to see it.
I love how images like this evoke a unique sense of perspective within each viewer. Some may feel lonely. Others may be in awe. And many are likely to feel gratitude for our little floating orb of life.
I’m a big fan of regular doses of cosmic perspective.
