----------------------------------------------------------------------------For many years scientists figured there were 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, but last year a Yale scientist figured the number was closer to 300 billion stars. And that's just our galaxy. Scientists figure there are 100 billion galaxies.

Comment: 1886 : Radio Telescoping declared first , -that 10% of Stars of Milk Way Galaxy - likely to have pllanets and 10% of that figure might be habitable like our Earth...Before that, it was the belief of Scientific World that the idea of habitabe world other than ours , was a mere Myth. or that, life was possible anywhere in the Universe other than ours ( we were alone !).
In 1883 ,an Indian 'realised' Soul, Sri Ramakrishna ( Master of swami Vivekananda )told his disciples that Life was teeming throughout the Universe like Monsoon Crabs swimming through the Ganges [Recoded statement in 'Kathamrita']. ...And Scientists negated this with supressed smiles..... To day we know through Cosmologists rhat we are not alone.
whinin a few years more , we may learn there are invisibe MAN ( sillicon or Paricle Man elsewhere who are living like us and thinking even better and faster. Who knows !
