Great Link, thanks for posting that up.

Just shows how insignificant our planet is in the scheme of things.

Stop downsizening us,we are nummer uno, an until anything else comes up on the horizon--mind that we have superseded the dinosaurs-- an they had the reins for millions of yonks,-we are it-an we are going to keep it :)
Bloody detractors..

. . . . . and to think that somewhere out there will be other ‘beings’ looking at a similar 'map' and marvelling at the size of the cosmos. With all the known galaxies, with all their stars there must be dozens of planets similar to ours. I am convinced we are not alone . . . . . and one day . . . . . :eek:
