Frankly speaking, I hardly remember when did I watched the night sky
for the first time. But I have a portrait of what I saw that day painted in
the deepest corner of my mind.
Most of it was dark, pitch black. Then there were a tip towing light
raging over the entire canvas with a gorgeous neck less covering it from north
to the south.
We look up and wounder. As we grow up yet another view of it opens to
our eyes. We start seeing mystries hiding under the most beautiful canvus
nature have offered us. Some of us become so generous that we devote our
life in revealing them.
Astronomy is not a new science, it is the oldest science of all. It started
as the first man looked at the sky. He carefully noticed and recorded their
patterns. Then he proposed the laws the planets and the stars have to follow.
Our todys knowledge about the sky is enormous. At the same time the
part of the knowledge we have today is nothing compared to what remained
to be discovered.
We almost all the time wrongly combine astronomy with astrology. The
later has nothing to do with the nature. Stars do not detect our life, our fate.
They are just there to give us little lights and let us wounder about them.
So unimportant we are in this vast world. But yet so precious, so powerfull
to look at the sky, enjoy its beauty and at the same time wounder what lies
beyond our reach there! We have the courage to leave the earth even, to
uncover all the secrets the sky serving and hiding from us.
We are not away from the world there, we are a part of the twinkling
stars.
