Universally speaking, Earthlings share a nice neighborhood from PhysOrg.com
We don't have spacecraft to take us outside our solar system--not yet, at least. Still, astronomers thought they had a pretty good understanding of how our solar system formed and in turn, how others formed. In the last dozen years, nearly 300 exoplanets have been discovered. Are the solar systems in which they reside indeed like our own?

Could May 10, 2807 B.C. be the date the Great Flood started? Bruce Masse, an environmental archaeologist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, has proposed the theory that the Great Flood was caused by a comet strike in the Indian Ocean on that date (see below for a translation of that date into all the calendar systems supported by Chronos.)

Astronomers find gaping hole in the Universe from PhysOrg.com
University of Minnesota astronomers have found an enormous hole in the Universe, nearly a billion light-years across, empty of both normal matter such as stars, galaxies and gas, as well as the mysterious, unseen “dark matter.” While earlier studies have shown holes, or voids, in the large-scale structure of the Universe, this new discovery dwarfs them all.
