in the face of immensity

from a video by Neil deGrasse Tyson - he came across how certain people feel really small and insignificant in the face of immensity - because their egos were so large in the first place, they couldn't handle the immensity of the university. others, however, somehow feel empowered.

i don't know if it's smallness or largeness i feel - it's a sense of wonder and awe, that's for sure.
