Do you like to look at stars?

Yes I do. I like to look at them on a perfectly clear, dark night away from city lights where you can see the Milky Way and get a sense of just how big our universe is. It always gives me a thrill, and a chill down my spine when I think of what it all is about...how stars are born and die, and how all of this happens over millions and billion of years. Cosmology is my particular favorite topic.
