When you look up at the night sky,
you may find the familiar outline of
stars that mark the constellations.
But there are celestial wonders there that
cannot be seen with the naked eye. Magnificent
star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies that
lie studded against the vast cosmic backdrop.
Some of these objects lie in our Milky Way galaxy,
others far beyond our local group of galaxies.
Each image moves you out further, both in space and in time.
The speed of light is a humbling experience.
By the time the photons have reached your eye,
the telescope lens, or camera sensor,
they may have traveled many millions of years.
These messengers bring an image back in time,
a ghost snapshot of the distant past.
There is no grander endeavor than to study and comprehend the universe.
For our species, the future is literally looking up.
