Thanks Nprev

Funny, but the night sky just feels like a freindlier place to me, now that we KNOW exoplanets really are there.... and their weak photons grace us, waiting to be caught ...............

What a time to be alive..... I was born in an age not knowing what Venus and Mars were really like, and
now, can point to other solar systems, and soon, maybe, know what other Earths are like!

Fantastic!!!!!!

Yes, I feel the same way, a sense of connectedness with the Universe. Earth is no longer a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic darkness; there are other dots, possibly pale blue ones, that share all this vastness.
