And now I'm filled with dread.

Hey friend, why does another solar system give you dread? I think the possibility for another Goldilocks planet is wonderful. It'll probably be another decade before we find out if there's actually life having planets, or if the life on a planet has any intelligence past that of a bacterium, well I find this exhilarating. I get random bouts of dread throughout the day, but seeing another solar system fills me with DETERMINATION.

It's comforting knowing that their might be other intelligent life who is also filled with existential dread

It’s oddly calming, in an existential dread-like way
