Perspective
Every star we see is within our own galaxy. Even so we only see a small fraction of it. There are many solar systems within our galaxy. Beyond our galaxy are billions more galaxies. Suns and stars far greater than our own. Nebulae light years long. Life is all around us and further than we will ever reach.
The oldest human recorded in modern times was 122 years old. The average life expectancy of a human can range from 29 - 85 depending on where you live. Methuselah, in the Hebrew Bible, lived to 969 years old, the oldest person to be found anywhere.
A star that is the size of our own sun is estimated to live 14 million years including the development (birth) and red giant then white dwarf stages of its life.
Puts human life and time in to perspective.
