You know H and Valleyboy, it actually scares me. These are just the stars in our Galaxy and as it states there can be thousands of such galaxies. The actual factor that I cannot comprehend, and therefore find scary is - INFINITY.

Yes guys, got to agree, depressing, scary, incredibly interesting, mind boggling, infinity is all these things !!
