5. I love Carl Sagan and he was much a better science teacher

that I had in real life. He made it so exciting and adventerous and you could feel his love and ernest in what he believed in....

Have to dig up his Cosmos book again. That was Like Magic To Me.

We all need magic.

be intelligent life somewhere out there among those trillions and trillions of solar systems.

9. what to make of it.

there is so much going about that is bigger than us, but we too are big in our way. We contribute to it all, we are part of it all.

10. Gorgeous and fascinating, thanks

I feel a range of emotions when seeing pictures like that. I feel tiny and insignificant, and important and part of something so vast all at the same time. Breathtaking.

When I look at the formed galaxies, I just imagine how many of those could have planets with life. It saddens me that there is so much I will never know in my lifetime.

11. everything is round. nt

14. Makes me wish that I could be born in the far future

when mankind finally has the ability to travel to those galaxies.
