"The “Drake equation”, even being generous, shows that it would take at least 100 galaxies of the same type as ours to produce 1 technological life supporting planet."

Almost every object in this Hubble shot -- covering only a narrow angular region of the sky --

is a galaxy. If Drake is right, you are looking at a region populated by intelligent beings...

Amazing isn't it? Just how small and inconsequential we are compared to the big picture.

Cool pic.

And the coolest thing about that picture is that it is a demonstration of how carefully God hung the earth so that our night sky was not just a fuzzy cloud of closely packed stars if we were located in one of the spiral arms or in a non-spiral galaxy, or worse yet, not in the galactic habital zone.
