I imagine that modern man's lack of humility stems largely from the disappearance of majesty. We've removed ourselves from the natural world and its beauty, and even hidden away the night sky. Given its repeated mention in the texts of any number of religions, I have to imagine the night sky was a singular source of inspiration for our antecedent generations. If that blaze of glory was visible above any human city, its residents would perhaps remember their tiny place in this vast universe.

It's sad to think that my daughter may never see what I can't even see. I for one have never been able to pick out the Milky Way in the night sky, and I live in a relatively rural area.

You will see the most amazing sky.. and shooting stars so numerous you stop counting them... It's a must do for us western people who never really enjoy the nature and planet earth (and the universe/stars)..
