shyt fascinates me. Kinda bugs me out when I see something is 49.8 light years away. Thats 4.7302642 × 1017 metres away from us, and we can still see it with the naked eye 
Incredible. Good looks OP.

Based on the best available data, it would appear that our consciousness was generated within an inordinately minute and particular corner of a vastly larger and linear explosion, mitigated by complex and mysterious forces, and whose observable flow and timescale may be a mere function of our consciousness itself, I am overcome with awe daily at the mere thought of this wondrous and magnificent mystery. It is enough to make a whirling dervish faint.

this is beautiful and amazing 
Just image what lifeforms, Minerals, Gases, Planets, Gravity etc.. is out there.

WELL, WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IS THE LIGHT WHICH HAS REACHED YOUR EYE, BROTHER! IT'S NOT LIGHT YEARS AWAY, DUDE! IT'S LITERALLY INSIDE YOUR EYEBALLS, MEAN GENE!shyt fascinates me.

amazing. Just imagine what civilizations have come and gone. When we look into the night sky we are looking at history

Great post but I tend to disagree with scientists regarding that subject. They are looking for lifeforms based on Earth development which is oxymoron like. Water is prevalent through the universe but most planets through development even lose it or has it underground. I believe there is life throughout our solar system from microbes, insects and more. The intelligent life or animal life is probably light years away.
Remember we are nothing but star dust so just imagine the Sirius Star system, Alpha Centauri, Orion belt those systems are older than ours.
I'm going with scientists looking for an escape from Earth. Even if they were looking for microbes by the time the probe got there to verify the scientists great, great, great grandkids would be looking at the results cause that's how far away the nearest planet is let alone one that could sustain like.
I think the biggest problem is water may hold the key to life but the real secret is Nitrogen. Over 75% of earth's atmosphere is comprised of it. Another issue would be the planet would need a massive Jupiter like planet to play cosmic vacuum cleaner. The nearest candidate is 16 light years away but it is 5x the size of earth and it's sun is a red dwarf.

What?
This is incorrect sir. Of those 1000 planets found several are in the habitable zone of their host star. Once we launch the James Webb telescope we will be able to perform more precise spectral analysis and determine the chemical constituents. More than likely we will find life signatures that way.
Aside consider that most stars in the galaxy have multiple planets. The Milky Way may have more planets than stars. Most 'hot Jupiter' planets have exomoons in the habitable zones of their host stars. Moons like Titan, which have methane lakes and a weather system similar to earth, have anomalies that suggest alien life evolving in conditions completely alien to us. Water and carbon are found in abundance in the universe. Red dwarf stars can exist for trillions of years are the most common type of stars in our galaxy. Super earths, 3 times as massive as earth have been found and may be more favorable for life than earth itself. All these facts point to life existing everywhere and in all conditions. We will find life on multiple worlds and in moons in our solar system. Be thankful to be alive in a moment in history when we will discover all of this
