> the impossibly large scale of our universe

The other planets are far away, other solar systems are far away, and the galaxy is huge.

But after that, the neighboring galaxies are surprisingly close. If we take 150k light years to be the diameter of Milky Way, and Andromeda is 2500k light years away, the distance between galaxies is less than 20 times the diameter of our galaxy.
