Mind boggling reality

Muse #547 - there is more out there than we know

I have been following the pictures released from the James Webb telescope with awe. In the space of one generation, our limited understanding of space and what is potentially out there has changed and yet changing.

What we thought were billions of stars now seem to be in the trillions. There is a veritable jungle out there for sure. And with such trillions of opportunities certainly life in several forms too. We can’t be the only unique creation out there being who we are - with things like cognition to write about it as an example.

And yet we understand very little and with the very little we know, we know there is an extraordinary lot. A spectacle to follow along my whatever is left of my so little small twinkling of a lifetime. With awe and humility.
