    Not a scientist, but I find astrophysics endlessly interesting. When daily life seems overwhelming it’s good to consider what an insignificant morsel I am, in fact the whole solar system is, in the scale of the known universe.

      There’s a supermassive black hole aptly named TON 618 that’s 40 times larger than our solar system! Some of these sizes are incomprehensible but very sobering.
