From nomophobia, an irrational fear of being without a mobile phone, to xanthophobia, a fear of the color yellow, countless phobias exist out there. Now this time, we’re delving into the mind of megalophobes, people who are in fear of anything large, like skyscrapers and jumbo jets.
In fact, there’s a whole corner of Reddit dedicated to sharing examples of this phobia known as megalophobia. “A place to post images of all things large, particularly ones that are 'triggers' for those with megalophobia,” the group’s description states.
Below we rolled up some of the most interesting examples shared on the group, so scroll down. Also, when you’re done reading this one, make sure to check out part 1 of the article.

Overwhelming feeling of wonder every time I see images like this... the scale is (almost)unimaginable.
It is interesting to think that until as recently as the 1920s Scientific consensus was the Milky Way was the only galaxy. Beyond our galaxy was nothing.
Yeah and we are the ONLY intelligent life out there???? 🤔🤔 Yeah I don't think so lol
If you love science and don't know Hank Green, go to Youtube and check out his network of channels, all of which are fulfilling the broken promise made by Discovery Channel.
Some galaxies actually appear more than once in this image due to light being distorted by the massive gravity pulls of galaxy clusters nearer to us. As the light from the more distant galaxy hits the gravity field of the nearer clusters it is distorted around both sides of the cluster, making it look like it's in two locations simultaneously.
I'm pretty sure that somewhere out there, a plant like ours also has living beings
HOW could we be alone? So many galaxies, so many planets, space has no limits and we consider ourselves exclusively entitled to all of it? For what? Why so many galaxies and planets when theres only human kind? Which is, lets be honest here, neither very kind nor very smart. The thought of no other life out there is devastating.
That’s an image from the James Webb Telescope - you can tell because of the lines coming off the stars: that’s because of the hexagonal mirrors on the telescope. Also… imagine: there are millions of stars in one galaxy, and each one may have a planet. Some of these planets may be in what we call the Goldilocks zone - the place where water can stay in liquid form and not boil or freeze. After billions of years, that planet may hold life - but not just microbial life and bacteria - actual intelligent life that we could communicate with one day. All this is expressed by the Frank Drake Equation (Frank Drake was the founder of SETI, a company that looks for intelligent life on other planets, where I hope to work someday!) RIP frank drake ❤️ Signed a budding astrobiologist 😜
Good luck on your future endeavors! Signed an alien who refuses to tell you where home is for them 😅

"If you went far enough out, could you reach a place where one plus one equaled three. Everything would change. All energy, all matter, all the underlying math of the universe would be unrecognizable to us." EDI - Mass Effect 3
To think we're the only "intelligent" beings out there is the height of arrogance and stupidity 🙄
I'm actually old enough (and big fan) to understand that reference.

At last, proof positive, we are the only ones worth while. After all God did create us in his very own image. So, so cool.
There's probably a dating app that could be created out of this.
Why do the stars have the spikes coming off of them in these images? Is that just an artifact of the Webb telescope's mirror configuration, or...?
Imagine a pile of stones made of black, blue, grey and white gravel, I pick a pattern, white, back, blue, grey, grey, blue. What are the chances of finding that pattern on that pile? Quite likely. And they would be everywhere, extend the pattern, you need a bigger pile and would have to look longer and they would be harder to find. Now imagine a pile of of stones the size of the observable universe, and the pattern of billion billion items of this 4 colours. Could we find that pattern in that unimaginably huge pile? I think it's likely. That's the odds of someone in one if those galaxies looking at the same picture from the other side.
Millions of earths out der, just cos we cant reach them dosnt mean der not der
Yes but we're seeing them for the blink of an eye relatively-speaking, as they were hundreds, thousands, millions or billions of years ago. So the chance the inhabitants exist today is a small fraction of the number of Earths.

The whole alien abduction and all that type s**t sounds nuts but how can we be the only life in something that is so unbelievably, incomprehensibly MASSIVE? Beyond massive, like like quadrillions and quadrillions of solar masses BIG!
