In a very real way, we can divide the Universe up into two pieces: Our Solar
System, and everything else. Or, equivalently, stuff that matters and stuff
that doesn't.

Yes, but the Solar System is so incredibley tiny and insignificant, as compared
to that everything else. Are you sure it matters?

I liked seeing m31 naked eye during the recent Lunar eclipse's totality. Would
have been a good deep sky night, were it not for that certain pesky solar
system rock.
