Something to contemplate: Galaxy Song Just remember that you standing On a planet thats evolving, Revolving at 900 miles an hour. Its orbiting at 19 miles a second, so its reckoned, A sun that is the source of all our power. The Sun and you and me And all the stars that we can see Are moving at a million miles a day. In an outer spiral orb, at 40,000 miles an hour, Of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way. Our Galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars. Its a 100,000 light years side to side It bulges in the middle 16,000 light years thick, But out by us its just 3,000 light years wide. Were 30,000 light years from galactic central point. We go round every 200,000,000 years. And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions In this amazing and expanding Universe. [Our Universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding In all of the directions it can whiz As fast as it can go, the speed of light you know, 12,000,000 miles a minute, And thats the fastest speed there is! So, remember when youre feeling very small and insecure How amazingly unlikely is your birth. And pray that theres intelligent life somewhere up in space, Cause Im afraid that weve been cheated here on Earth. YouTube: https://youtube/watch?v=oT7bAuOz8ao
