“Our Milky Way galaxy is only one of perhaps a trillion galaxies...These observations present us with a cosmos of billions of trillions of stars & likely thousand times as many possible worlds.” Cosmos: Possible Worlds, Ann Druyan @NatGeo @NatGeoBooks @Cornell #COSMOS #COSMOSCSI
@NatGeo @NatGeoBooks @Cornell We were inspired by the new #COSMOS book to wonder about all worlds in our vast universe.

Now you will hear from some of our fellows at the Carl Sagan Institute (@CSInst) on the diversity of worlds already discovered in our Galaxy. Imagine what else is out there!

#COSMOSCSI
@NatGeo @NatGeoBooks @Cornell What is your favorite exoplanet? Let us know and tag #CSIExoplanets with your favorite exoplanet.

We would love to hear from you :)
