============================
This photograph is a humbling reminder of humanity's insignificance within the larger scheme of the universe.
It is also an alluring image of nature's ongoing mystery and the haunting inspiration for relentless exploration. Perhaps because in doing so, we are seeking truths within ourselves as well, individually and collectively.
Or, the photo can just simply be ... captivating.
