I love astronomy!

Imagine...something 17 billion times more massive than our sun. Holy smokes!

I really love astronomy. Peering out into space and seeing all that is there kinda makes you wonder. So much to learn, so little time to do it all in. Kudos the Master Architect!

Agreed, mate. From that perspective human being is just a wee period in entire space. There´s gonna be so much to learn always. But sometimes I gotta a feeling like more we know less we do. E.g. We´re trying to explore the Mars but we are unable to put the duck ina row on our planet. Sometimes it´s better to think less but do more. But about the space itself. I just loved visiting the space courses when being a kiddo. As well as watching the start in summer nights. It always recalled me we have been just a tiny point in a huge and massive space  :sun:

I'm not an astronomy buff, but I really love looking up into the night at a sky full of stars and feeling the huge vastness of space.  It really puts life into perspective.
