This particular image definitely humbles me.
To even remotely THINK that we would be alone in this universe is ludicrous
A star is a sun and around each sun there would be planets... the odds of life on a planet around any of these 10 million suns (and that is just a small corner of that particular area) is astronomical. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/.../Pictures-of-the-year-2009-space.html?image=8

Oh and cue up Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra when viewing this image... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/...Pictures-of-the-year-2009-space.html?image=23

Everytime I think I've chosen a favorite photo I turn the page, and think "no not that one, this one." Then I turn the page again......:)

Yeah, when you see the photo's of millions of galaxies, with in such a tiny part of the sky, and each with billions of stars, the odds of us being the only life out there becomes just so remote.
