That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.

” We’re discovering one of the universe’s greatest creative wonders, star birth… Jets of gas, exploding outwards at 200,000 kilometers an hour, blasting dust and gas out for millions of kilometers, It’s unbelievably violent - but look at the results, it’s beyond words. Nebula, vast glowing clouds of gas, hanging in space. With no wind out here, they’ll take thousands of years to disperse. They seem to be forming a vast stellar sculpture, and makes you realize nature is more than a scientist and engineer - It’s an artist on the grandest of scales. We’ve seen some strange sights, but this is a masterpiece. “
