@wonderofscience One Trillion stars in that galaxy and there is no way there can be intelligent live any where in the universe? I don't think so. We are not alone!
@wonderofscience It is really spectacular through a telescope !
@wonderofscience I'm grateful that Andromeda is just a faint speck of light to the naked eye. I'd be horrified if it was close.
@wonderofscience There are 1.5 times more stars in the universe than grains of sand on earth. Hallelujah indeed.
@wonderofscience And yet, many people believe humans are the only sentient life form.
@wonderofscience @drlouisehansen Nature is awesome/breathtaking/humbling WOW
