EXTRACT:
"When I peer through my telescope at a distant galaxy, or star cluster, or at countless thousands of stars in the Milky Way, I'm not just looking at tiny points of light or 'strange fuzzy blobs', I am looking at the universe, at our home, and it is stunningly beautiful.
I'm sure my dog, Sox, can see the Milky Way, but I'm also sure she only sees it as tiny spots of light and nothing more, if she notices the stars at all. I, on the other hand, see gigantic spiral galaxies that may harbour alien life, beautiful nebula where new stars are being formed, the remnants of an ancient supernova explosion created in a star's final death throes, the magnificent rings of Saturn and the moons of Jupiter. I see all these things and more, and marvel at them today just as I did as a 13 year old kid with his first look through an astronomical telescope. I'm still that 13 year old kid, he's never left. I find it impossible to look through an astronomical telescope and not be moved by the sight of countless stars in the night sky shining like diamond dust on a bed of black velvet. Multitudes of stars beyond stars, stretching back and back and finally becoming so many and so dense they appear to merge into delicate wisps of sparkling mist. I also find it impossible not to wonder where we, the human race, fit into 'the great scheme of things'. Are we here merely as observers, to watch as the universe evolves? Or are we here to participate, to shape the universe, to map out its - and our own - future?
Are we really here just by accident? Or are we at some deep level an essential and integral part of the universe without which there could be no universe?"
