#2Catnip for HN.
It's beautiful and so far less ominous than Carl Sagan's pale blue dot. Instead of being lost in the vastness, we are part of someone else's sky, connected not alone.
Have as much tax money as you want Science.

Agreed! This is so amazing. Something about it makes me smile like I can't help it. Space always makes me feel small, but in a good way.
Sad bit: "Almost 20,000 people participated..." At first glance that might seem like a lot until you realize that it's 0.000003% of the population of this planet. Amazing things like this happen and literally nobody cares.

Participating in what? Looking up and smiling? That's ridiculous.
This was pure hype. Glad you showed yourself.
