Welcome

We all came from different parts of the world. All of us have colorful history, but even if you think you don't; you or someone in your family most likely does.
I want to share some interesting moments from my life. This will include: growing up in the communist country, leaving my home country of Poland, and coming to the United States. Meeting my wife and starting a family. Converting to the LDS church and starting my own business.

Space/Galaxy

I think its interesting to note that Astronomers allover the world started to count how many planets we have in our galaxy. They are still counting, but conservative estimate by astronomers shows that there are 1.6 planets for every star. “We‘re finding an exciting potpourri of things we didn’t even think could exist,” said Harvard University astronomer Lisa Kaltenegger, including planets that mirror “Star Wars” Luke Skywalker’s home planet with twin suns.
We‘re awash in planets where 17 years ago astronomers weren’t even sure there were planets” outside our solar system. Can't wait for a time when we can go exploring all those cool planets, but we may have to wait for our Savior to come first. :)
 Popular Science reports one expert not involved in the study as saying there could be even more:
“Planets are like bunnies; you don’t just get one, you get a bunch,” said Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute who was not involved in this research. “So really, the number of planets in the Milky Way is probably like five or 10 times the number of stars. That’s something like a trillion planets.”
