I'm amazed we can see individual stars, all packed together like little marbles, but each one is light-years from the next.

9. And we can see it in our own sky

10. So what we see from Earth, as a black sky at night with some stars and a galaxy....

is really invisible- to- the- naked -eye dense star fields.

I have always found the sight/thought of the universe to be very calming, in the way it makes us all so deeply insignificant.
