the universe

There were perhaps 
one hundred billion galaxies in the universe, 
and each galaxy contained a hundred billion stars. 
How many of those stars had planets, 
and how many planets had life?
(...)
The belief 
that there was life only on this pale blue dot, 
in this insignificant solar system, now seemed 
as absurd as the ancients' naive belief that 
the sun and the stars revolved around the earth.
