- FACT => ASTRONOMERS have estimated that there are as many as "One Septillion" (1×1024 or, 1 with 24 zeros) STARS in the OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE – more stars than all the grains of beach sand on the planet EARTH.
- FACT => ASTRONOMERS have confirmed (as of April 17, 2025) => "5,943" ExoPLANETS (in "4,461" ExoPlanet Systems and "976" Multi-ExoPlanetary Systems) – after studying only a very, very small portion of the starry sky.
- FACT => The NASA PROBES currently active on the planet MARS (as of June 5, 2025) are the following:
"PERSEVERANCE" Rover & "INGENUITY" Helicopter => 1526 Sols (1568 Days) (4 years, 107 days) (landed February 18, 2021).
"CURIOSITY" Rover => 4561 Sols (4686 Days) (12 years, 303 days) (landed August 6, 2012).
(USA Flag on Mars – Mars Weather: Perseverance*Curiosity*InSight – Mars Rocks – "Martians Found?").
- FACT => A SPACESHIP from planet EARTH speeding "165,000 miles an hour" (as fast as our fastest one), would take nearly "20,000 years" to travel beyond our Solar System to the nearest star Proxima Centauri – with no worthy place to land.
- FACT => "SPACESHIP PLANET EARTH" is speeding about "One Million miles an hour" through outer space and, along with the rest of the Milky Way Galaxy, is traveling toward Andromeda Galaxy. (WikiTalk).
- FACT => The UNIVERSE contains LIFE – on planet EARTH – at least – and – we are NOT ALONE – Life abounds – wherever we are – with Microorganisms – at the very minimum.
- FACT => BIOLOGISTS currently understand that Microorganisms were the only known LIFE FORMS present during the earliest "85%" of time since the planet EARTH was formed "4.54 billion years ago" – Plants and Animals appear much more recently – in the latest "15%" of time – Modern Humans, much more recently yet – in less than the latest "0.005%" of time.
- FACT => BIOLOGISTS have estimated that over "99%" of "All" SPECIES of LIFE FORMS that have ever lived on planet EARTH are now EXTINCT.
- FACT => CHEMISTS have determined that "All" LIFE FORMS on planet EARTH are based on "ONE" particular chemical – with astronomical variations.
- FACT => PHYSICISTS have estimated that there is about 1×1082 (1 with 82 zeros) ATOMS in the OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE, and that additionally, at least "99.9999999%" of all the MATTER in the UNIVERSE, from the very small to the very large, is EMPTY SPACE.
