I am, in fact, currently under the possession of the celestial body under the category of "rocky planets" that is part of the Solar System, which is the only celestial system known to have living organisms, of course in multiple different categories (mammalians, reptilians, avians, insectoids/arachnoids, mollusks, amphibians, gnathostomes/cyclostomes, etcetera) and "living ways" (such as the atmosphere, terrace, and ocean). It is as well residented by the species known as "homo sapiens sapiens", dually noted due to the fact that this species happens to be a highly intelligent type 1 (Kardeshev Scale) civilized species, which I am a part of.
