As humanity has advanced scientifically, our understanding of the universe has expanded dramatically. We now know that our galaxy alone contains hundreds of billions of stars,many with planetary systems of their own.What once seemed impossible—the existence of intelligent life elsewhere—no longer appears unreasonable.
