Currently, one of the most accepted theories of the origin of our solar system is this:
1. a "big bang" expansion of protoplasmic phenomena
2. coalescence of this cosmic "soup" into stars after some thousands and millions of years (approximately)
3. supernova star explosions reforming into planetary accretion disks
4. gas giants, rocky planets, and similar moons filling galaxies such as ours
5. abiogenesis upon Gaia
Seeming evidence for this includes:
* the "red shift" of galaxies observed thanks to the Hubble space telescope
* utterly same fossil remains on the east coast of South America and the west coast of Africa indicating "Pangea" existed, all continents, including these, being together at once in the past
* seeing such as below, the apparent remnants of supernova explosions
"WASP-39b's atmospheric transmission spectrum captured by Webb’s Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) reveals first clear evidence for carbon dioxide in a planet outside the Solar System."

According to a lecture I saw upon the topic of abiogenesis, approximately 10^55 (a one with fifty-five zeros after it) combinations of chemicals existed on early Earth which yielded, along with the later efforts of those who lived long ago, thousands of types of species and geological actualities that have existed upon Gaia over eons.
Will we find such as Jar-Jar Binks (pictured below) or worse of inculcated nature out there?
I don't know. All good girl scouts and boy scouts are ever and always prepared however.
Some seemingly possible dangers to the continued existence of life like we know it include:
- rogue black holes
- large asteroids
- large ejections such as planetoids and neutron / dwarf stars (image below from White Dwarf Stars எவ்வாறு உருவாகின்றன? - Tamil Astronomy) black hole collisions
We lack the ability to stop such things if large enough and dangerous enough by nature.
I hope I'm wrong about this and soon.
