Dust in the Solar Wind

I think that way too many of us go through our day-to-day lives without appreciating the simple fact that we have day-to-day lives. We are in space, floating around. There is no outer-space. There is only space and we're living in it. On a tiny fleck of astronomical dust.

We're doing circles around a fairly average, if not small, mass of hydrogen atoms that are fusing to create helium atoms due to the force of gravity and in the process expelling extra energy that flies 93 million miles to heat and sustain life on a minuscule collection of dust particles that somehow spawned self-aware beings.
