Made me realize how far away it was...

I felt the distance...

It was even a much bigger deal when Galileo pointed his first telescope at Jupiter and saw the moons. For the first time in human history, man discovered that we were NOT the Center of the Universe (except for maybe Hillary), and, instead, that planet far away had it’s own little community.
