The Universe Amazes Me


Driving home today I saw an amazing sight. The full moon rose just after sunset, and as I crossed the M4 motorway flyover to join the traffic I saw it for the first time, low on the eastern horizon, seemingly huge and slightly yellow in the thicker air. The road snaked away towards London, street lights and cars, it all looked slightly surreal with this huge object from space just hanging there, seemingly inches above the earth.

It was as if someone had hung a giant Christmas tree bauble on an invisible string from the sky.

I love the enormity of the Universe. You can't really take in how big it all is. The Earth, the Moon, the distance between the stars - it is all millimetres in the overall expanse of it all. It must be there for something, even if we have no way of getting to it.

I heard it was pretty amazing. I forgot to have a look.

I would love to go out into space. Can't afford Sir Richards ticket price.
