The possibilities of life.
I'm fascinated by distance. And the size of the cosmos. Astronomers have discovered a star that exploded, and it's 13 billion light years away. In other words, it took 13 billion years for the light from that explosion to reach Earth. Traveling at a speed of 186,000 miles per second. That's an amazingly long ride. Think of the vastness of creation. The billions and billions of galaxies. Each with billions and billions of stars. And imagine the number of planets that could be revolving around the stars. Must be billions of Earth-like planets. So many, many possibilities of life. --Jim Broede

Just imagine. Going on a journey. At a speed of 186,000 miles a seond. And to reach one's destination it would take 13 billion years. And we still haven't reached infinity. One can never reach the end of forever. --Jim
