We live in an amazing place, The Earth. It is what us 6 billion people call home and it has amazing creatures and has beautiful landscapes. But what is beyond our Earth? What makes our earth not even visible because of such a huge spectrum of space?

I won’t lie but that picture in my opinion is phenomal. We have 9 (actually 8, poor pluto) planets in our solar system plus asteroid, meteors, and the many moons surrounding the planets.

But what lays beyond the our tiny piece of heaven we call our solar system? We live in the Milky Way galxay which is a spiral type of galaxy.

And in our galaxy lies billions of stars just like our sun, some bigger, some smaller, but all make our sky shine bright every night.

But what is beyond that? A universe. A never ending area of beauty. With trillions of galaxies which hold billions of stars each which probably house planets like our solar system. If we were to travel in a ship going the speed of light it would take us thousands of years to reach a new galaxy, that is how vast the universe is. It is said  

Here are a few questions for your pondering: 

1. Is the universe, in fact, never ending?
2. Are we the only ones out there? Us 6 billion people? In such a vast area, I doubt it.
3. We all know the theory of the big bang, the theory on how the universe was created, a giantic explosion, well do you think there will be an end to the universe in a gigantic implosion?

Yes there are many thoughts and questions that are left un answered and will be maybe forever. But yet it is still fantastic to lay out at night on a clear sky and gaze at the stars wondering what else is out there.
