Just ponderin this morning.
Since we’re at the edge of our galaxy, it seems to me that much of our view of the universe is blocked by the dense center of our galaxy. Our orbit around the center of our galaxy takes some 200 million years so it seems to me that there’s a huge portion of our universe that remains unseen.

Have you by chance read the book "The Privileged Planet"? It's a great read, all about the characteristics of Earth make it singularly suited for observing the rest of creation. No other planet has anywhere near the advantages for observation beyond itself. Sort of like the Creator figured since we were here and had the ability to explore and observe then we should have a good platform for it!
