One of the densest clusters known, the Coma cluster of galaxies is 323 million light years, which is both unimaginably far, yet not at the same time.
In this picture alone there's almost 1000 galaxies all bunched together, each with billions of stars like our own galaxy.
So if you're feeling insignificant, or wondering about your place in this life, just look up to the great leveler, our universe. Trying to imagine just 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, is one thing, but this image is 1000+ of them, and probably more so.
Knowing everybody that ever has been, or ever will be is insignificant in that context, is a comforting thing, it's not just you!
But there's something about gazing upon it, understanding the sheer magnitude of our universe, that adds value and context to our daily challenges and trials, or you can look at that idiot in your office/class and just smile, you've got a image of near eternity, while they can barely comprehend the depths of their ridiculousness.
