   It’s certainly more interesting than a bunch of clowns trying to win a quadrennial popularity contest.

   @NebulousRikulau & @doublepaw, both: True that! In another vein, though: Is Arlo channeling the spirit of Carl Sagan? … billions & billions…

   Well, we now have eight planets to our own star, Sol.
   
   There are at least five dwarf planets in our own solar system (Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake and Eris, which is larger than Pluto).
   
   There are at least four other possible dwarf planets (Orcus, Quaoar, 2007 OR10 and Sedna), with even others as well!
   
   Out of those 9 dwarfs, 5 have at least one moon. Haumea has 2 and Pluto has 4.

   And they just upped the number of stars thought to be in the universe. The current number is anywhere between 300 sextillion (10 to the 23rd power) and 1 septillion (10 to the 24th power). Multiply that by the number of planets to each solar system – and the number of planets should be WELL over 1 septillion – I doubt we are the only “intelligent” life in this vast universe.

   There have been strong rumors, shall we say, that intelligent life has already visited us. What would be your first question?

   Intelligent life has visited us, and marked their guide maps, “Avoid.”

   To quote Calvin (Calvin & Hobbes): “The best evidence that there is other intelligent life out there, is that none of it has tried to reach us!”

    that reminds me of the Carl Sagan quote:
    “The universe is a pretty big place. If it’s just us, seems like an awful waste of space.” -
