"How amazing. That I could see something made billions of years ago, that are billions of miles away. The idea that the light we see, could have gone out, but for years we won't know. The idea that there are billions of them, so many that we can't even count the sheer number. I like the idea that humans pick out individual stars, and name them, and make shapes out of them. It's almost like we gave them purpose long before we figured out what they were. I've found comfort in knowing that there's always something bigger than myself. I'm only one person in a country of 321 million, a single person in a world if 7 billion, on a planet of 8 in a solar system, in a solar system that is only one of a hundred billion in a galaxy, where there are at least 100 billion more galaxies out there. And yet. Here I am."
