The Times Square of the Milky Way. We live in a quiet remote out of the place place.

[Spruce]

I was expecting to see much more nougat

[BradyLS]

Hmm. Looks curdled.

[ifinnegan]

Nyuck nyuk.

[Jamestown1630]

One galaxy out of about 100 billion at the very least. What are the chances?

[Red Badger]

Looks like a Yorkie..............

[Yo-Yo]

[tired&retired]

Where’s the anti matter side?

[Red Badger]

Hiding behind the Dark Matter..................

We live in a quiet remote out of the place place.

The galaxy is like the US, the densest spots like the cities. with the sparsest having the most sense. With all the 'Rats, it feels like we live in the Austin of the galaxy.

One planet out of how many millions of stars in the galaxy. One galaxy out of countless billions (trillions) of galaxies. One universe out of how many multiverses ... and the best that could be blessed is one planet ? .... don’t limit God by mans ignorance

[Jamestown1630]

It seems to me that God crammed life into every possible space on Earth - we’re even discovering organisms living in environments we wouldn’t have thought possible a hundred years ago. Why would He then be stingy with Life in outer space?

Makes no sense.

God is awesome. We are like mice in a castle, we can see it, run around in it, learn where the halls, rooms and secret passages are, but we could never build it.

Another way to look at it is, that if Earth was 1% closer or farther, life couldn’t exist.

If the nearest star was 1% closer, there would be too much radiation for life.

If our solar system were 1% closer or farther from the center of our galaxy, life couldn’t exist.

Scientists are finding that instead of a random big BANG,
that our universe is actually finely tuned.

Ether view, points to a very large God.

And that bright white splotch in the middle of the image? That's the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, which is illuminated on all sides.

And that big hot disk that came up this morning? That's our new coldspot freezer!

[Phlap]

So, where exactly are we?

[goldbux]

It doesn’t matter.

[Harpotoo]

I see the hand of God:-)

[bgill]

To be sure the center is in there somewhere but exactly where?
