I can never get tired of watching the rest of our galaxy go by. You need perspective? There it is. Stars in such numbers and at such distances that from here they’re like just so much particulate in a cloud. And here we are most of the way out to the edge, and so fortunate not to have our view of this glory completely blocked by interstellar dust.
Amazing.

Stars are beautiful, but they may not take an active part in anything, they must just look on for ever. It is a punishment put on them for something they did so long ago that no star now knows what it was. So they older ones have become glassy-eyed and seldom speak (winking is the star language), but the little ones still wonder.
