RE: Why is Learning Astronomy a Character-Building Experience?
The size of the universe always gets me...
To think that from a certain perspective (in this case a deep-field image in space from a telescope) all points of light are not stars but galaxies is truly a humbling experience.
The mind can literally not imagine this vastness, this infinity.
So the question I would have is why humans even after having such an insight are still so closed-minded.
