Kepler recently discover 1,285 new exoplanets (planets around distant stars) which has moved us closer to stating that planets are more common than stars. The Kepler telescope has opened our minds, data, and imagination about planets, even rocky planets, being very common out there in the Milky Way. Pondering the concepts of goldi-locks conditions made my brain ponder just how many special/perfect facets of life make us up. This expanding existence, when pondered, shows us that we are circles upon circles of awesomeness. | Show notes: https://awesound.com/@The_ScienceBro/e19?auid=aGZcKxNd

Let me teach you how and why you should ask a new question each and every day. | Show notes: https://awesound.com/@The_ScienceBro/e20?auid=aGZcKxNd
