Here's another one (Not one billion pixels but still, a lot) which you can spin around

It reminds of my first smoke. Suddenly I realized a great grid, and my consciousness is not a blank emptiness, but a infinitely complex system. I realized, that which I see out there is also in here.

Wow, just wow. That detail is so nice. It would seem so very odd to me to think that there are not other rocks with life growing on them.
