The Vast and Wide Universe

The universe is vast and full of darkness.  When I think of the universe I think of many things but for these purposes I will focus on the bigger picture, and identify some details along the way.  The universe is ultimately space and there are many things that come to mind when one thinks of space.  There are stars, planets, black holes, and vast areas of what is described as “dark matter”.  Recently it has been found that the universe is primarily made of dark matter, which is dark areas that have exist in the vacuum of space. So dark matter in turn is what I often what I think of when I envision the universe.  While the earth and our world certainly comes to mind; we are just ultimately a speck of dust in the vast, vast universe.  There are many other galaxies, and solar systems out there other than our own.  So that thought is humbling within itself, and that is a large reason as to why I only briefly think of our small rock (earth) when I think of the whole universe.  Just to think that there may be another planet like ours somewhere out there.  I personally believe it is naive to possibly think that we are the only form of life in our large universe we exist in.  I see the other potential forms of life and all of the other stars, meteorites and other planets that have yet to be discovered.  This universe is more than just our galaxy, there is much more out in the vastness of space to be scene.
