Welcome to Space

    As Carl Sagan once said, "We are children equally of the earth and the sky." It is from this saying that this blog derives its meaning: we are not just beings of this lump of rock and metal that speeds around the Sun, we are also residents of space, of the universe as a whole. While we will always be children of Earth, someday we will find ourselves reaching out into space to find homes beyond Earth and it is the job of this blog to bring these discoveries together to give a basic roadmap to the universe.
     Beyond this, Worlds Outside Our Own will focus on discoveries here on Earth that are pertinent to the exploration of the cosmos. Expect to see posts on life, spaceships, telescopes and other musings on the universe.
     So tune in as we begin to explore the worlds outside our own!
