Take a look at the following picture and consider a few things...

Consider that we are one planet amongst mainly eight other planets that make up our Solar System. There may be over 1 billion solar systems in our galaxy...

Assuming our universe is finite... it is likely that there are over 80 billion galaxies in the universe...

Now, the word is still out on the following according to researchers...

Assuming our universe is infinite... there are an infinite number of galaxies in our universe and hence an infinite number of solar systems in the universe and hence an infinite number of planets in the universe...

I have two sentences to say about this...

There is a good chance we are not alone!

 And...

No wonder we can never really get anything done!

A Keyhole View

The image above was taken by the Hubble Telescope - it represents a portion taken from the lower left corner of the Hubble Deep Field - which covers a speck of the sky stretching just 3 percent of the full moon's diameter. That field of view is so narrow that just a few foreground stars in the Milky Way galaxy are visible... in other words, You are seeing a large number of solar systems, of which we are just one.

The following picture below is a close up view of other galaxies that exist near us...

We are truly surrounded by beauty!
