From the Sciences and Cosmology web page:
"Want me to tell you something that will blow your mind or make you lose sleep?
Well, look at this picture.
Each of those dots you see is a GALAXY...
And each GALAXY has roughly 100BILLION STARS.
Also, each STAR has at least 1 PLANET.
Now how many galaxies do you think there can be in that picture?
And this is just a photograph of a very little parcel of the universe.
This makes me lose sleep, thinking about how so insignificant we really are. Lol."
It appeared in my Facebook feed.
There's probably a goodly number of hot babes on all those planets, and, well, need I say it?

I’m keeping that thought. Thanks.
I wonder what the chances are that there is another solar system out there that has a planet named “Uranus”? Just something to ponder.

Everybody lives on a street, in a city
Or a village or a town for what it’s worth
And they’re all inside a country which is part of a continent
That sits upon a planet known as Earth
And the Earth is a ball full of oceans and some mountains
Which is out there spinning silently in space
And living on that Earth are the plants and the animals
And also the entire human race!
It’s a great big universe
And we’re all really puny
We’re just tiny little specks
About the size of Mickey Rooney
It’s big and black and inky
And we are small and dinky
It’s a big universe, and we’re not!
And we’re part of a vast interplanetary system
Stretching seven hundred billion miles long
With nine planets and a sun; we think the Earth’s the only one
That has life on it—although we could be wrong
Across the interstellar voids are a billion asteroids
Including meteors and Halley’s Comet too
And there’s over fifty moons floating out there like balloons
In a panoramic trillion-mile view!
And still it’s all a speck amid a hundred billion stars
In a galaxy we call the Milky Way
It’s sixty thousand trillion miles from one end to the other
And still that’s just a fraction of the way
‘Cause there’s a hundred billion galaxies that stretch across the sky
Filled with constellations, planets, moons and stars
And still the universe extends to a place that never ends
Which is maybe just inside a little jar!
It’s a great big universe
And we’re all really puny
We’re just tiny little specks
About the size of Mickey Rooney
Though we don’t know how it got here
We’re an important part here
It’s a big universe, and it’s ours!
Accretion means there are planets.
Stars are accreted planets.
Galaxies are accreted stars (and dust)
