The photo above is a picture Galaxies. GALAXIES! ENTIRE GALAXIES, each galaxy would host around 200 billion stars. Even if half the stars had planets around them – we would be talking about trillions and trillions of planets – of which life very easy could be supported. Sure makes you realize how minimal are little planet and its inhabitants are.
APOD: 2008 May 20 – The Perseus Cluster of Galaxies
Credit & Copyright: Jean-Charles Cuillandre (CFHT) & Giovanni Anselmi (Coelum Astronomia), Hawaiian StarlightExplanation: Here is one of the largest objects that anyone will ever see on the sky. Each of these fuzzy blobs is a galaxy, together making up the Perseus Cluster, one of the closest clusters of galaxies. The cluster is seen through a foreground of faint stars in our own Milky Way Galaxy. Near the cluster center, roughly 250 million light-years away, is the cluster’s dominant galaxy NGC 1275, seen above as the large galaxy on the image left. A prodigious source of x-rays and radio emission, NGC 1275 accretes matter as gas and galaxies fall into it. The Perseus Cluster of Galaxies is part of the Pisces-Perseus supercluster spanning over 15 degrees and containing over 1,000 galaxies. At the distance of NGC 1275, this view covers about 7.5 million light-years.

It would be statistically impossible for other life not to exist.
wow im convinced that area 51 has everything that is questioned about other life form.. and if anyone inportant reads this.. mabey we should explore these galaxy’s before earth over populates.. we need to find another so to speak earth 2.. who knows how long this world will last..
