Our galaxy: 1 out of ~125,000,000,000.

Milky Way Galaxy probably looks like this.
There are hundreds of billions of stars in a galaxy and there are hundreds of billions of galaxies out there.
Some estimate that there are ~40,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars. I don't know how to even comprehend such a huge number.
Others even came up with results that there are ~10 stars for every grain of sand on all of Earth's beaches.
Can I just say that the Universe is mindbogglingly huge and we are so insignificant on that scale?

Too big, man! Scary to realize that we are nothing really. Absolutely nothing.
