This talk is really for more 'general interest'. We all live here on Earth (for now), but where does this small planet fit into the big picture? What is our Solar System and how did it all start? What is the Milky Way; what is the 'Local Group'; where will we all end up? These are big questions that demand some mind-stretching answers but nothing too exhausting; it's general interest as I said! The talk concludes with some thought provoking details about the Universe and predictions for our distant future.

My talks can be viewed at www.astronomymatters.co.uk Since the advent of Covid19 I have also been presenting via Zoom and remain happy to do this.
