It's easy to forget that we're all standing on a rock that's flying through space as part of a collection of rocks and other heavenly bodies that are interacting and also flying through space as part of a huge network of galaxies that are, you guessed it, flying through space.
Scientists have found that the Milky Way is part of a super-cluster of galaxies that they named Laniakea, which is Hawaiian for "immeasurable heaven." You can take a quick tour through these new models of what is effectively all of existence around us in the video below.
Just a quick reminder that existence is a pretty overwhelming, beautiful thing for your Friday morning.
