Timely post, PE! Just when all I want is an even smaller thing/person in the bigger scheme of things!! :D

PE says: You’re welcome :)

I’ve never even heard of those big big planets! Makes us look at ourselves in a more humble manner, I agree!

PE says: You get a free astronomy lesson with PE! Hehe…I didn’t know about them too till that forwarded email!

I’ve seen those before, up to the Sun. Never the other stars. That’s so awesome!

PE says: Hi, thanks for dropping by! It’s amazing isn’t it to know that we’re so insignificant!
