When The Universe Looks Down At You Under A Martian Sunset, What Does It See? - IMRAN™
Take a moment to read this and think, even as you enjoy the video. This is an interesting week in space and planetary news. The moon, which is nearly 250,000 miles away, will appear very close to the red planet, Mars, sometime on Thursday morning.
At that time Jupiter and Saturn will also appear nearby, even though their actual distances are far greater. At different times in their orbits, Jupiter can be 600 million miles away and Mars can be as much as 150 million. Saturn can be just over a BILLION miles away. Imagine that, a BILLION miles.
Yet, we can sit here on our tiny blue planet and soak in their views in the night sky with our naked eyes. As you watch this absolutely unedited, unprocessed, SOOC (straight out of camera), video taken from my DJI Phantom 4 drone three years ago, soak in the mind-blowing sunset at just one secluded spot on Tampa Bay, my blessed home in Apollo Beach, Florida. Then try to think about the countless equally or even more stunning sunset scenes happening even on our own planet at other places around the globe which we may never get to see all of in our lifetimes, no matter how much we travel.
Now imagine, beyond imagination, what visions must be happening this very moment on millions of other spots even on our nearby planets. Then, in an instant, you will realize that even the limitless human imagination cannot begin to fathom what else is happening in other planetary systems in BILLIONS of other galaxies, some of which we cannot even imagine the size and scope of.
Then, imagine, if you can, that nature, or energy, or the universe, or God, or whatever you believe in, looking down at us for one fleeting moment. Imagine that is the only instant you, with your thoughts, and your actions, are going to be noticed. Right here. Right now.
Will you come across as an insignificant non-entity whose absence will not be noticed if you cease to be? Or, will Nature see someone whose deeds and hateful ways would be a benefit to the universe to be without?
Or, by some chance and by some choices you made, are you someone whom even all the powers in the Universe, and all the deities real and imagined, look down at and gasp in awe, when they realize and say, "Here is a person that uplifts the very spirit of life in all its forms! Even as a speck of stardust, or a body of flesh and bones, here is someone who is worth the gods of the universe to look up to, for inspiration."
You choose, by your deeds and words, your thoughts and ideas, your dreams and desires, which of the three categories you belong to. Choose wisely.
Enjoy the sunset, and make the new day tomorrow one worth the opportunity that the universe and God give you, every day, no matter what hardship you face today. Make tomorrow count, every day. Good Luck, and Good Night!
