  1. Incredible. Now just try to wrap your mind around the idea that there are hundreds of billions of similar galaxies, some of which are many times larger, in the observable universe alone! Truly humbling.

  2. ahhh space articles, the one time a comment section on a news network’s youtube channel does not make me weep for humanity

  3. Somehow there’s more lunatics in the comments sections of Canadian news videos, when compared to the amount commenting on American news. Shocking!

  4. We need to reach out & negotiate interplanetary trade agreements with alien civilizations in faraway solar systems.
