Each star in the night-sky is a Sun, possibly with other planets, just like the one that rises and sets in our own, blue sky. It seems too arrogant and self-glorifying to assume that we are the sole creation- we are a speck on the cosmic map. Galileo, that Italian physicist, taught:

'We can interrogate nature by observation and experiment. Then, facts which at first seem improbable will, even on scant explanation, drop the cloak which had hidden them and stand fourth in naked and simple beauty.'

Maybe, in the next millennium, we will come to round two of modern science's questions:

"Is there intelligent life other than that on Earth?", "Did that life evolve as we did?", or, perhaps, "How can we contact them?"

Moon: Is there life out there?
