Hi Jim

Which angle does that last link of yours cover?
The gif drawing shows an angle but I'm not sure it is relevant.

 I don't even think insignificant covers it<g>.

 One of the things I often look at is the Hubble Deep field, which is the last referenced object in that display:

 To wrap your head around that takes some doing, as this is the patch of Sky it represents:

 and here's a nice diagram of how far that reaches back:

And looking at that, you then see that there is a an ultra deep field shot, which reaches even further:

 Each pinpoint in the background representing a super cluster (groups of groups of galaxies).

 Insignificant doesn't even begin to cover it.

 I don't think there is a word that does.

Jim.

Indeed it is.  Makes one feel rather insignificant in the scheme of things.
