"The large-scale homogeneity of the universe makes it very difficult to believe that the structure of the universe is determined by anything so peripheral as some complicated molecular structure on a minor planet orbiting a very average star in the outer suburbs of a fairly typical galaxy."

Interesting. The young girl with the blue top on Mrs. Obama's right is Caroline Moore. If you went to the NJAG's September 2009 meeting, Caroline spoke about discovering a supernova. She is the youngest person to ever discover a supernova. She also wrote the essay for Sky and Telescope's October issue. She is also a member of the Rockland Astronomy Club. Let's wish her well.
