I remember watching 'How the Universe Works', and learning that while "nothing can move through space faster than the speed of light, SPACE CAN move faster than the speed of light".
Blew my mind, fist I always considered 'space' to be the absence of things, not a thing itself. Second that space itself MOVES.
Literally God only knows how big or old or fast moving the universe is.
Every time we think we think we've got it figured out, we find something new that reveals how little we are or how little we know!
I think of the early adventurers, who lived in one place and looked up the mountains that surrounded them, and one day said "I'm going to conquer that thing!" And he climbed the mountain and as he was about to say he's seen it all, he looked over the mountain and saw the great expanse past it.
Then he climbed down and explored the great expanse and came to the edge of THAT and saw the ocean... Then he sailed across it and saw a whole 'new world'. Then he flew and again realized just how small he was, but he conquered that. And then space etc.
Every time we reach further we realize how little we've reached, or more to the point, how much MORE our reaching has found beyond that present reach.
EVERYTHING is magic. Everything is a miracle. We just call it science once we figure out how that magic works.
