This video, dedicated to Carl Sagan, uses the Hubble Deep Field image, to show why it's so hard to get the universe into perspective. Dr. Sagan was indeed a great man. His popularization of astronomy, and his ability to explain difficult concepts in a way that a layman can understand was a true gift.
