Today in Environmental Science, we discussed the vastness of the universe. To us, the world may seem big and important, but imagine holding up your hand to the sky. In that space of your hand, are billions of stars, if not more! Those stars all make up galaxies, are born and fizzle out or explode into a massive super nova, emitting vast amounts of light for many many earth months until it empties itself out. The sheer amount and variety of galaxies and solar systems within those galaxies are immeasurable, and even if they were, the numbers would be too large for our human minds to comprehend.
In short, the universe around us is over our heads, or at least mine. One could only hope to someday have a greater grasp on a reason as to our happenstance existence on this small sphere of coalesced dust we call Earth.
