      If you think about it, the universe would be incredibly boring if it weren't for intelligent life being able to appreciate it.
      Humans are awesome. Prove we wrong, aliens!

      Still makes me cry. I still show new people this video. Like he said there is something unifying here. We're all just people happily amazed at what is before us. Just the moon.. yet wow.

  • @micahwilliams1219
    @micahwilliams1219 2 года назад +15

    I busted out crying at the end. All this hate between us and worrying about being perfect to society, but when saw the moon, at that moment they realized the world is bigger than our little world in our minds. This is the best example of all being equal. How at the end, are feelings towards this mysterious world are the same.

      Your feelings are not far off than what the astronauts call the "overview effect".. it's when they look at the earth from the space stations above..they feel unifying sense of awe
      Go check it out, I can't properly explain it in words better than them

    I'm saving up for a telescope, but I've been using my binoculars to look a the moon, and a few of the obvious constellations. It's really amazing how much more there is to see of something like the moon, that we all see daily and never think about, if you just take the time to look.

    Is it weird that things like this, space, brings a tear to my eye? Like, maybe the emotion of knowing ill never be able to go into the endless void and explore it myself fills me with such sadness, and then to see the moon in such detail is so amazing, even if it is just our satellite, only a stones throw away in a cosmic sense

    "The moon is a loyal companion.
    It never leaves.
    It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do.
    Every day it’s a different version of itself.
    Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light.
    The moon understands what it means to be human.
    Uncertain.
    Alone.
    Cratered by imperfections."

    Excellent in every way. I just purchased a 12" Dobsonian, same type of telescope, but must wait a few weeks for delivery. They call such scopes 'light buckets' because that's what they do...scoop buckets of photons, most of them scores of years old, but many millions of years old. Then, they focus those photons down to where they fit through the aperture of your iris. Magnificent views!
