[00:00:00]I hope you're ready for a small [music] existential crisis. This is the Milky Way, the galaxy where Earth exists, and somewhere around here, that's us.

[00:00:07][music] Every star you have ever seen in the night sky, every tiny light visible to the human eye, exists inside this small region of our galaxy. In reality, humans can only see a few thousand stars, while the Milky Way [music] alone contains around 100 billion of them.

[00:00:22]Now, here's the craziest part. If we sent humanity's [music] fastest spacecraft, the Parker Solar Probe, to the edge of our galaxy and back, the journey would take about 12.6 million years. And this is only one galaxy.

[00:00:34]There are trillions [music] more in the universe. Sometimes space doesn't feel like a place. It feels like a reminder of how unbelievably small we really are.
