“Well, as a young child I was always fascinated by the stars. As a teenager I used to 'stargaze' and knew most of the constellations and major stars. I admit I've forgotten a lot of it now, but would like to rekindle my interest.”

“I'm trying to wrap my head around the sheer immensity of the space around our little planet. It helps keep things in perspective, and I can worry less about little things like, "oh my roommate didn't do the dishes again".”
