Quotes by Robin Kerrod (?)

“In 1543, Polish astronomer and priest Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543) put our corner of the universe in order, suggesting that the Sun and not Earth was at the center of our planetary system. The idea contradicted the teachings of the Church, but was eventually proved by Galileo.”

“How do we fit in?
To us Earthlings, our Planet is the most important thing there is, and not very long ago, people thought our planet was the center of the universe. Nothing could be farther from the truth—in the universe as a whole, Earth is not the least bit special. It is an insignificant speck of rock circling a very ordinary star in an ordinary galaxy in one tiny corner of space. Exactly how big the universe is, no one really knows, but astronomers are now detecting objects so far away that their light has been traveling toward us for about 13 billion years. This puts them at a distance of some 76 sextillion miles (123 sextillion kilometers)—a distance beyond our comprehension.”
