text: who wrote the story of galaxy?....was he or she did saw things in real out in galaxy matter?...? was the writer of this story had have enough experience...?...how come he write it and say things about?... whenever life gets you down, mrs. brown, and things seem hard or tough, and people are stupid, obnoxious or daft, and you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough...  just remember that you're standing on a planet that's  evolving and revolving at nine hundred miles an hour, that's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's  reckoned, a sun that is the source of all our power. the sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see are moving at a million miles a day in an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour, of the galaxy we call the "milky way". our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars. it's a hundred thousand light years side to side. it bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick, but out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide. we're thirty thousand light years from galactic central  point. we go 'round every two hundred million years, and our galaxy is only one of millions of billions in this amazing and expanding universe.  (calliope interlude)  the universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding in all of the directions it can whizz as fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know, twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed  there is. so remember, when you're feeling very small and  insecure, how amazingly unlikely is your birth, and pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in  space, 'cause there's bugger all down here on earth.  source:  "the galaxy song"  eric idle, monty python   http://www.gecdsb.on.ca/d&g/astro/music/galaxy_song.html
