We've all that moment when we just sit down and question our existence -- whether life has a purpose, value, or meaning. If you have an existential crisis, you'd be delighted to know that you're very, very far from alone.

It's common... maybe because we all have this little monster in our brain called anxiety and his best pal - depression. These two BFFs make us think all about the "what ifs" and the "whys."

According to Healthline, everyday challenges and stress provoke an existential crisis. And while many think that immersing into this deep thinking is terrible, there's actually a bright side in it.

Now, allow me to put you again into an existential crisis.

#1 You probably know what this is, but in case you don't, this is EARTH. This is where you live

#2 If you think Earth is HUGE, you might want to check out our planet's neighbors

#3 What you're looking at is the Earth and our moon. They don't look too far, eh?

#4 They're actually not really close. You can fit EVERY PLANET in our solar system between the Earth and the moon

#5 Now this is Jupiter. That little green smudge you see there? That's North America on Jupiter

#6 The size of Saturn's ring is equal to six Earths!

#7 If Earth had rings like Saturn, this would be the view from different places

#8 Turns out Pluto isn't that much of a photogenic planet

#9 That big rock in the photo is a comet covering Los Angeles. Scary, right?

#10 Let's talk about how enormous our sun is.

#11 If you were in the moon, this is how Earth would look like.

#12 And here's Earth from Mars. You might want to zoom in

#13 If you were behind Saturn's ring, this would be your night sky view

#14 Let's go as far as 4 billion miles away... Now you're in Neptune. And that teensy-weensy white dot is Earth

#15 Going back to Sun, can you see how terrifyingly gigantic the sun is? It won't even fit in the photo

#16 Congratulations! You've just saw what the sun looks like in Mars

#17 On your left is a photo of stars, and on y our right is a photo of sand. Apparently, there are more stars than sands

#18 Do you remember how insanely big our sun is? Turns out the sun is just a small dot compared to VY Canis Majoris

Can you imagine our Sun getting bullied by this giant douche?

#19 Let's try to downsize the universe. If you shrank the sun to the size of a white blood cells, and do the same with our Milky Way galaxy, the Milky Way would be the size of the United States

#20 Milky Way is incredibly huge. Like, reeeally huge. That pin you see in the photo is where the solar system is

#21 The stars you see at night are just a part of this little yellow circle

#22 Even our Milky Way galaxy isn't as big as we think it is. Check out how small the Milky Way is compared to IC 1011, which is 350 million light years away from our blue marble Earth

#23 Time to think bigger! What you see right now are thousands and thousands of galaxies. Some are as big as the Milky Way galaxy, and others are much way bigger

#24 This is UDF 423. It's one of the million galaxies out there. This galaxy is 10 billion light years away.

#25 The next time you stare the night sky, remember the universe is tremendous and that there's actually more than our naked eyes can see

#26 Let's go ahead and talk about black holes. It was only this summer when we first saw a photo of an actual black hole.

That little white dot in the photo is Earth. The black hole can literally swallow our solar system whole.

#27 So if you're ever upset about your coffee that gone cold or your Uber cancelled your ride... just remember. This is Earth

This is our solar system...

If you zoom out, this is what you'll see

This is what happens if you zoom out farther

Keep going. Go on, zoom out.

Here it is. The entire universe in one photo... or maybe this is just a small portion of something much bigger.
