Long ago, when an early galaxy began to pour light out into the surrounding darkness, no witness could've known that billions of years later, some remote clumps of rock and metal, ice and organic molecules, would fall together to make a place called Earth. Or that life would arise and thinking beings evolve who would one day capture a little of that galactic light and try to puzzle out what had sent it on its way.
-Carl Sagan
