Nice image. There is a more profound beauty, that is, the "beauty" as we perceive is a limitation imposed by Nature on our "seeing" abilities. The outward absence of "reason" is yet another limitation that we need to live with!! There probably is a larger truth beyond what is reachable to ephemeral human art and the science understood by us. That probably will not and should not stop us from living in our own imaginary world of "art" - whatever that means!!
To further elaborate my comment here is the hot linked image from this link by NASA.
That little dot is earth as seen from the Saturn. Close to it there is a faint dot that is supposed to be our moon. This picture did not change for past many thousands of millions of years. During this time life came into being on the planet earth. There are billions of suns and trillions of planets in this universe. Nature created "life" in this little planet called "earth" and infused traits so that those created life tries to protect itself. One of that insignificant life is named "human" on this planet "earth". This species thought it is at the center of the universe, with all its politicians, rulers, ruled, dictators, artists, so called gurus/enlightened, priests, scientists, poets, philosophers, photographers, authors.. this funny list goes on and on - not the fault of this species, Nature made us so. Generations have come and perished along with their funny contributions to the "Nature"! However, the truth probably lies elsewhere - no one knows why the things are as they are. There is no place for human ego in this above picture. Tautological? Your choice! Nature does not care either. Nature probably wants us to live in our own imaginary world and we continue to do so. In the evening today I will make some more images as a photographer!!
Ghanshyam, the beauty of this image is the title or the interpretation you've given. Well done.
@Ganesh, very thoughtful words. I feel we are as good as our thoughts, which is limited by our perception of things around us. As you said we are a small spec in this world, but to remind "this" to us we need some disaster to strike like earth quakes, tsunamis or the current Covid-19.
Yes, Sir.....that is beauty.........and that, too, without any reasons.......beyond all horizons and frontiers of science, art and religion that we humans have explored with our limitations and with our limited perceptions, with our limited consciousness.......yet Nature remains unknowable infinitely.....
Prashanth, have you ever wondered why our lovely little moon has so many craters on its face? Comparatively far fewer on earth even though moon's surface area is less than 1/10th of that of earth? Not because earth saw far fewer astroid collisions, because they got healed over time unlike craters on the moon, thanks to atmosphere on the earth.
However, those reminders you mentioned indeed have been coming to our home (the planet earth), albeit very rarely (thankfully). They are called mass extinction events. The last one being K-Pg extinction event about 66 million years ago. It is said that 75% of all life forms on the earth vanished then.
There probably is a grand unimaginable creative design behind this wonderful universe? Or none? Who knows? Whom to ask? No guru, enlightened or a scientist has an answer. They are all still very limited human beings, perished like every life form on this earth. When it is not, it is only our hallucination.
Now, what is this tautology worth? It definitely limits my ego to self respect. Beyond which I call myself a stupid. I can only helplessly enjoy this grand mystery - The mystery of Nature!!
How true it is! How vague our thoughts seem, how miniscule is one's life with respect to that of the universe and still we think the whole world is centered around us.
