An atom in the universe

i've always known that we are very tiny in the black world out there, but i didn't realise how tiny... to the extent of being microscopic...

I've always thought our planets, our Sun and all the moons and stars make up a galaxy...

But no... our solar system is only 1 out of the 4-5 arms in our Milky Way galaxy. And there's like 1.5 million galaxies in the observable universe~~~!!!!!!! (note: observable universe)

AND each universe contains like 400 billion (not million) stars~!!!

I'm only 1 out of the 6 billion people on this planet, which is 1 of the 8 planets circling a star out of the 400 billion in the Milky Way galaxy, which is only 1 out of the 1.5 million (discovered for now only) galaxies in the universe~!!!


I just realised my existence in the universe is so teenily tiny man....
just like an atom in relative to the universe!!!
