Approximately two billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy alone. Roughly 10X more planets than stars. It has room for us, and then some. Reason indeed to be happy!
https://www.youtube.Com/watch?v=buqtdpuZxvk So remember when you’re feeling very small and insecure, How amazingly unlikely is your birth, And pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere out in space, ‘cause it’s bugger all down here on Earth!
The stars and silhouettes are beautifully done in the last panel, but what makes it really work is the light on the two houses, which turns it into a three-dimensional view.

And if you get evicted, where will you go? Much easier to just let you stay here.

Love the peaceful interlude enjoyed by Gracie and her dad. She’ll remember these moments with a smile when she grows up.

And we can only see one sliver of the universe at a time. Its vastness is beyond human comprehension.
