My son is taking an astronomy course with a highly regarded astronomer, and she believes there are many, many intelligent civilizations in our galaxy alone. They are just too far apart. A galaxy may look small in an photo with lots of galaxies, but in reality, a single galaxy is so huge as to be almost mind-boggling in itself, without even considering the wider Universe.
