Imagine you are on a volcanic island surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, now imagine that this ocean is the Universe of which we see a fraction of its surface. In the distance we see another island, it is the Moon and beyond we see another, perhaps larger but more distant … the Sun and small points that look like ships, or perhaps they are stars with other planets like ours.
You are there, enjoying a moment of peace from your busy life, under one of the best skies in the world to observe just that, the cosmic ocean that surrounds us, you will never be so close. How could you miss the opportunity to enjoy it?
