"A Rather Unremarkable Piece of Sky"

Or "The most important image ever taken". There's something that keeps bringing me back to this video essay by Tony Darnell of Deep Astronomy. Is it the fantastic blend of images and video, edited together from  the NASA and ESA Hubble Telescope website, the soft, insistent, hypnotic voice of the narrator, the staggering numbers and concepts of time and space involved? Or could it be the juxtaposition of the brilliantly entertaining Numa Numa guy, perhaps hinting at our place in the greater scheme? Enjoy!
