Here’s a shot, magnified a bit of our pueblo around 6:15pm tonight. No stars are out yet. Speaking of stars, do you know our world, in the Milky Way galaxy, has around 400 billion stars in it? And that’s just our galaxy. And it takes light around 100,000 years to cross our galaxy. So if you think our galaxy then is huge, consider this. Based on surveys of the local universe, its estimated that there are approximately 2 Trillion, ( two thousand billion) galaxies, or even more. Some are smaller or larger than our Milky Way galaxy, but can you even start to imagine this? There is no way to wrap our minds around that type of figure is there? What is interesting is that our little planet, in this infinity of impossibly enormous space, has life. Being alive and conscious, we have “meaning”. If we are the only evidence of “meaning”, that means my life and your life is so precious, each day is a beautiful moment to picture. Finally, just to end this night, imagine when you look up at the stars at night, some of those lights that you see are like a journey into the past that you are only seeing now. Some of those lights, like from the North Star, take over 400 years to reach the earth. Enjoy life, enjoy time, make sure you give your life meaning. (Click the TITLE to view or make a comment).
