For as long as we’ve been human, we’ve looked to the sky to find ourselves. Ever-increasing light pollution threatens not just our sense of identity, but our relationship with the whole biosphere.
Your experience reminds me of the time I was sailing on the Java Sea. On deck at night, lit by starlight, I could look up and see the Milky Way from horizon to horizon. It was the closest I’ve ever come to having a transcendent religious experience, like I was in direct connection with the infinite.
Humanity robbed itself of a true treasure if you ask me.
Couldn’t agree more. It should be mandatory for all humans to see it at least once.
