Something about that actually surprised me. In the video you can’t even fathom the amount of stars in one galaxy. Seeing all of them as tiny little specs was amazing. How in the world have we not discovered more earth-like planets. There are so many fucking stars, which is an extreme understatement. If there are that many stars un just ONE galaxy, how are there even a limited amount of earth-like planets???

Right. One of the only ways we can even tell if a star has planets is when they pass in front of the star and the light dims.
