Why I chose This Topic

Since I was young one of my interests that fascinates me but also scares me is "is there life out there?". I have never really had the time until now to sit down and do any research on the topic but always watch or read current news stories with interest. I have often wondered, as many others have, if we are alone in the universe, and enjoy reading how scientists are finding new planets and far-out galaxies. There is so much out there that we do not know, and that we will never know in our lifetime. I really feel that these new discoveries don't receive the press that they deserve so in this blog I hope to keep you up-to-date with any new findings.
