About space?

Let me set the mood....

Just another clear northern maine night, warm, about 4 degrees out with 4 inches of freshly fallen snow blanketing the land.

At work, I can hear the v12 cat main chipper motor idling down as the last truck was leaving.

Sky was as clear and as crisp as could be, milky way running right down the center of the sky.

I just sat there in the darkness earning 21/hr for roughly 10 - 15 minutes starring skyward.

That shit just boggles my mind. Thinking of all the different galaxies and solar systems being created and destroyed. How most of the star light we see left its creator thousands of light years ago. I've watched nearly every documentary and tv episode known to the english language on space. I suppose a lot of you dont get to see things the way i do, with all your fancy city life bs...

Its just incredible to try to fathom what truly is out there. Lets have a educated discussion for a change.
