Stuff like THIS (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080616/sc_nm/space_planets_dc) always humbles me and reminds me that the universe our Father has created is SO vast, and we really are just passing through.

Read this, this morning. Amazing. I am always struck by how vast the universe is and how insignificant we are to. But it does make one wonder how many other life forms there are in this universe. I tend to think there are many.

Oh yeah. I'm with you on other life forms. It's incredible to think about!

I see the diversity in the spiritual realm with the beings that are around God, the various types of angels that are describe, and the activity that there seems to be in the spiritual realm. And what that does is make me think that there must be more in the physical realm that we have don't have a clue about.

Cool article...however the writer calls them "earths" when they aren't. They are planets. We can't tell if they are anything like earth at this time. Still...being able to tell that there are planets around distant suns is incredible.

And the article says that they range in mass from 4.2 times up to 9.4 times the mass of Earth.

I suppose that must mean that we would be 4.2 to 9.4 times heaver on those worlds. That could make life tough.

Recall your old high school force of gravity equation : F = G(m1 * m2)/(d^2)
