Description

We are here on solid ground, a rocky planet 93 million miles away from the sun, in a galaxy that is 100,000 light years wide and populated by 200 billion solar systems. Our presence on this planet puts us on the cutting edge of a creative cosmic event† the expansion of the universe† that has been 13.7 billion years in the making.
