What is your favorite thing about space? Do you like looking at the night sky? Do the size of the stars and galaxies move you at all? How do you feel about knowing of the larger scale of things? 😄
Let's post about everything and anything outside of Earth's atmosphere! 😎
Sometimes when I look up at the night sky it starts to freak me out that we are such a small speck in this infinite space, and there could realistically be many other places in the universe that hold intelliegent life. It's scary to think about amirite.

I love space. Not enough to study it because it's just too mathematical for my brain, but I love all the mystery about it and I like reading about all the awesome discoveries about it.
Everyone should check out this site. It's incredible.
I don't think about things like space often enough, or know enough about them, but whenever I dabble (in either admiring or actually trying to understand) I'm quite taken aback by the majesty of it all. Definitely a fan.

Not at all. I feel great when I see how incredibly big everything is compared to this one planet. It's very inspiring to me 😄 When I watch them (I have seen many videos and diagrams with the sizes of stars and galaxies) I realize how little everything means on this tiny piece of dust. Knowing that... I become content. I suddenly want to tidy up my house, I want to read a book, I want to listen to a new album, I want to do something new, try everything. I can do it all with a smile on my face. 😄

I on the other hand cower in the corner of my bedroom closet from fear of the universe. Your reaction is much better.

Also, how crazy is it that when we look at the night sky, we are sort of looking back in time. Some of those stars might not even be there anymore. What if millions of light years away, there is another planet with people and extremely powerful telescopes, and they are looking at Earth. They wouldn't see us. Right now, in this very moment, they could be seeing dinosaurs and shit. _________________

This troubles me, actually. Not really because of the stars, but because everything we perceive is in the past. The screen you're watching right now is not the screen in the present, but the screen of a fraction of a nanosecond ago. Everything you see is a past version of everything. You could say we live in the past, literally.
