Whenever life gets you down, Mrs.Brown
And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite enoughJust remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our powerThe sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the 'milky way'Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wideWe're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universeThe universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there isSo remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth -

These are great and amazing pictures. But, what makes our planet so unique is the amount of Pizza Parlours that it contains.

looking in all directions, the universe, the background radiation looks remarkably even

Twitch, true, I did not imply 'EVEN' but as it appears ~BALANCED

Those swirls are the future clusters, galaxies, binary stars & neo-bode planetary systems.
of course the Big Bang is old school, primary, 13.8 years old, like the radiation with those swirls.
thanks for the upgrade.
my point was And I love to learn better,
In every direction we look, the deeper the field, the wider the angle, the universe looks balanced in matter-, energy distribution, isotropic.
behind every near object lurks a densely poulated space reaching back to earlier times, as expected, because space is both curved and expanding.
It is great to be here and to travel through this particular slice of time too, a 'present' in every way.

It is the right niche to have evolved into, have consciousness. experience, celebrate it all. Location location.

All that so four lads from Liverpool could be born and grow up to give us this:
