Some deep thoughts about the stars

This is a typical clear night sky, in all of it's glory here on our farm. We sit on a warm night, sometimes in front of our outside fire place or in our warm  pool. Looking up at all of this can make a person only wonder.

“Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we're not. In either case, the idea is quite staggering.”  

“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”  
 ―    Arthur C. Clarke
