The idea that we haven't found evidence of life elsewhere is more interesting to me. What that means about the universe and our place in it. Things like the Femi Paradox and the Great Filter.

Although I’m similarly fascinated by the Fermi Paradox/Great Filter/Drake Equation stuff I think that map relies on US data which could explain some of the bias.
Growing up looking up at the vastness of the sky would make you wonder that there must be something out there. What’s similarly odd is that more people then ever before are walking around all day with a camera and nobody can get a decent picture
