Oh, the universe is much bigger, and we are much smaller: inconceivably so!

I just can't get enough of this stuff.

Then have a look at WikiSky, but don't get lost! I know I could spend hours here without noticing it.

And, of course, the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field. If you held up a grain of sand between your fingers and stretched your arm out, the piece of sky covered by that grain of sand is larger than that shown in this picture. They pointed the Hubble at an "empty" section of the sky and took a time-exposure for days. This is what developed. Virtually every speck and dot that's visible is a separate galaxy. Now imagine how many galaxies would be revealed in the incredible number of sand-grain-sized photographs of the entire sky!
