Hi,
Help required with the following:
What does the phrase GET WITH IT mean here?
"Get with it."
"Millions of galaxies
of hundreds of millions of stars
and a speck on one in a blink."
"That's us. Lost in space."
Thanks.

Here, 'get with it" = understand. In other contexts, it can mean 'get fashionable, catch up with the conversation, join in the activity' 'Get with' = join; 'it' = whatever the topic is.
