this is making me emotional
So we went on a trip to Los Angeles almost exactly a year ago now and one of the places we visited was the Griffith Observatory (HIGHLY recommend btw it’s so cool).
There’s a portion of the observatory that leads form one floor to another, iirc, and the whole way down the hallway there’s a timeline on the wall of the universe as we know it, from the Big Bang to today, marked by various signs explaining each significant moment. I got to the end of it and read the last two signs and took a picture that still makes me emotional when I look at it:
Our time in this universe has been so short, and yet, look how far we’ve come. :’)
