The German philosopher, Immanuel Kant, in his Critique of Judgment, a treatise on the Beautiful and the Sublime said in that there are two visions that present Sublime beauty for human beings, first, the starry heavens above, second, the moral law within.  

Most of us can feel sublimity contemplating this image, because it conveys our tiny, insignificant place in the vast creation of the universe,  but Kant felt the same awe and beauty when he thought about the ethical law planted within human nature, because it lead us to our final happiness as human persons.
