And then, you follow up that realization with the fact that this image was taken by Hubble looking at just one tiny pinprick's width across the entire sky... that this is just one tiny fraction of a tiny percent of the whole thing. The original Ultra Deep Field from 2004 was one part in thirteen million of the entire area of the sky. I can only imagine that this image is of a smaller portion by exponentially greater proportions.
Feeling small?
