First-time visitors ~ Nature and universe
As it turns out, the Magellanic Clouds are first-time visitors.
I never could have expected that at all. For more than hundreds of years, it has been accepted as common knowledge that these wonderful celestial bodies were nothing more than natural extensions of the home galaxy in which we live.
Almost human thoughts that we could nearly grasp here and now.
Beliefs can be easily shattered by the endless stream of sterile measurements and calculations of science, in its pursuit of acquiring more accurate knowledge of the universe and thereby risking that we slowly but surely dehumanize mother nature.
