perspective and a nice "break"..
can be found by browsing this "Astronomy Picture of the Day" site. It's my home page and sometimes has the effect of a nice, deep breath.

3. You might enjoy this one too!
View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.
