The Universe is Big
August 13th, 2009
I was watching Perseids last night (the big meteor shower of the year) and saw a lot of neat spectacles, including airplanes, orbiting satellites, meteors, planets, stars, geosynchronous satellites, the edge of the galaxy, and the moon. Gosh it’s a big place up there; you look at the dimly-lit horizon and see all the stars and think that you’re just on a rotating piece of dirt. A very, very special rotating piece of dirt. So I was thinking, the universe is really big.
And it was organized under the direction of an intelligent beings — a god, no less.
When’s my turn? :)
That’s one of the reasons why I love star gazing, it’s a good time to just sit in amazement and appreciation.
