Greetings from earth

The other day I decided after watching a documentary by Steven Hawking that there is a much greater chance of intelligent life beyond earth than I previously thought. I still remain much more pessimistic that it is within our small little solar system however.

The thought that our galaxy is just one of many within the Milky Way which in turn is contained within the universe among of billions of galaxies. I can just about get my head around the fact that the sun is actually 109 times bigger than earth and that Jupiter is a long way away. Beyond that however seems just unimaginable.
