Wonders

Thanks to the Nasa Juno Probe, we have the closest images we’ve ever taken of Jupiter:

Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, we have images like this one below. From just a tiny sliver of observed space, we can see that every one of these dots is a galaxy… each with roughly 100 billion stars, and… each star has at least one planet. How could we possibly be alone?

It causes us to wonder. I like what astronomer Dr. Caitlin Casey says,

“If you look back to the Big Bang, the dark ages, the cosmic dawn, the creation of stars, galaxies, planets – we are a consequence of this. We can’t see ourselves as being apart from this. We are of this. Humans, trying to understand the universe, are really the universe trying to understand itself.” — Dr. Caitlin Casey, Vox’s Unexplainable Podcast
