Look at this (warning - big!). Sometimes stuff just blows you away. We live in one tiny (and I mean TINY) insignificant part of the universe and everywhere we have been so far has thrown up surprise after surprise. I am not one for wishing - but if I could have one wish it would be to come back at a time in the future if and when we have achieved deep space travel and explored more of the universe and to see what its like close up.
