European Space Agency's telescope, Euclid, can make you feel small. Like really, really, really small. This video explains it but they've mapped really small areas of the observable universe. And you can zoom in and see MILLIONS of GALAXIES in those small areas. The first link is a video of the Euclid and what it does. The second link is to one of those small sections where you can look around.
edit: Never mind the second link comes through strange. Use one of the YouTube links under the video.

It's a ULA launch of an Atlas V in the 551 configuration. It's the first launch for the Kuiper constellation of satellites.
