A Sense of Scale

The Hubble Ultra Deep Field in 3D

Astronomy has always fascinated me, no other pursuit has given me a real sense of my place in the existence like it has.

I can still recall sitting with a borrowed telescope in a freezing cold field in the middle of November and seeing the Andromeda galaxy for myself. I felt very small and at the same time very privileged to be able to grasp even this tiny fraction of the Universe.
One day I’ll get myself a nice telescope and again sit in freezing fields in the middle of the night. Maybe you should too?
