I'm blown away and compelled to share this amazing knowledge that we as a human race have gleaned about our place in the universe. We still don't fully understand how the universe originated, how life on earth began, how it thrives at the deepest depths of our oceans, atop mountains, in deserts, or even in the cold reaches of space.
