We are tiny!

So, in the universe as we can see (although those lights take so long to arrive, the actual situation might be totally different now), there are a lot of superclusters. Within one of the superclusters, there are a lot of local groups, and within one of the local groups, there is this galaxy: Milky Way
Within Milky Way, there is a neighbourhood of stars where our Sun belongs to. The Sun is the focus of the Solar System. Circling the Earth, is our beautiful satellite - Moon.
On Earth, there are many cities.
And, Perth is just one small speck of light on Earth at night!

And, zooming into Curtin, there is one of us!

The universe is so huge, but our mind is as limitless as the universe. Wonder what makes us think this way?
