As they observed the beauty of stars and planets, there was an immense sense of wonder that came with stargazing, as if there were some sort of shared experience with something beyond their own existence.

To look at the stars is to strive for eternity itself, for in stars and planets can be found all that beauty, wonder, and a reflection of endless aspirations.
