Только Монти Пайтоном и спасаюсь от нынешней распрекрасности
Just re-member that you're standing on a planet that's evolving,
revolving at nine hundred miles an hour.
It's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
a Sun, that is the source of all our power.
The Sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
are moving at a million miles a day
In the outer-spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
of the Galaxy we call "The Milky Way".
Our Galaxy itself contains a hundred-billion stars,
it's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
but out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from Galactic Central Point,
we go round every two hundred million years,
And our Galaxy is only one of millions of billions
in the amazing and expanding universe!
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
in all of the directions it can whizz,
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know,
12 million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure,
how amazingly unlikely is your birth.
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'cause there's bugger all down here on Earth!
