If one needs to place things in proper perspective, this short video from the American Museum of Natural History could be of some assistance in that regard:

Thanks, Richard.  It really does put everything into perspective.

Enjoyed watching and will revisit it when I need leveling off from the day to day.

Richard,
 Thank you very much. That was a great post. It made me think that we are really in a glass ball like the kind with a winter scene is in; and we are sitting on a shelf some place.
 Ok, maybe that was a little on the deep side. It does put things in perspective.
