- Astronomers estimate[1] that there are as many as "One Septillion" (1×1024 or, 1 with 24 zeros) stars in the observable universe – more stars[2] (and Earth-like planets)[3] than all the grains of beach sand on our planet Earth.
- Astronomers confirm[4] (as of June 1, 2022) => 5,059 exoplanets (in 3,733 exoplanet systems and 824 multi-exoplanetary systems) – after studying only a very small portion of the starry sky.
- The NASA probes currently active on the planet Mars (as of December 24, 2024) are the following:
Perseverance rover & Ingenuity helicopter => 1366 sols (1405 days) (3 years, 310 days) (landed February 18, 2021).
(USA flag on Mars – Mars Weather: Perseverance*Curiosity*InSight – Mars rocks – Martians found?[5]).
- A spaceship from planet Earth speeding 165,000 miles an hour (as fast as our fastest one),[6] would take nearly 20,000 years[6][7] to travel beyond our Solar System to the nearest star Proxima Centauri – with no worthy place to land.
- Spaceship planet Earth is speeding about "One Million" miles an hour[8] through outer space and, along with the rest of the Milky Way Galaxy, is traveling toward Andromeda Galaxy. (WikiTalk).
- The Universe contains life – on planet Earth – at least – and – we are not alone – life abounds – wherever we are – with microorganisms – at the very minimum.[9]
- Biologists currently understand that microorganisms were the only known life forms present during the earliest 85% of time since the planet Earth was formed 4.54 billion years ago – Plants and Animals appear much more recently – in the latest 15% of time – Modern Humans, much more recently yet – in less than the latest 0.005% of time.
- Biologists have estimated that over 99%[10] of all species of life forms that have ever lived on planet Earth are now extinct.
- Chemists have determined that all life forms on planet Earth are based on one particular chemical – with astronomical variations.[11][12]
- Physicists have estimated that there is about 1×1082 (1 with 82 zeros) atoms[13] in the observable Universe, and that additionally, at least 99.9999999%[14] of all the matter in the Universe, from the very small to the very large, is empty space.
