For example, seeing a movie like Star Wars or Lord of the Rings populated with a crazy array of unique characters with special looks and abilities, but then appreciating the wide range of diversity we have and learning about incredible abilites, like the kids from the Moken tribe in Thailand having amazing eye sight under water:

More recently I had a moment when this video of lava pouring directly into the ocean came out. You hear about other planets and moons where a certain gas here is in liquid form there, and you think "how cool would it be to visit that". Then Earth reminds you "Hey, we got liquid rock, man" Pretty fucking cool.
