I live on Earth at present, and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing - a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process - an integral function of the universe
- Buckminster Fuller
Sometimes it is the illusion of that thin vast line, the horizon that separates us and fools us into believing there is a dividing space where the sky meets the land: instead they meet and kiss, intermingling and becoming one
For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love.- Carl Sagan

Sometimes the sky opens up and peers down.
A sky as pure as water bathed the stars and brought them out.
— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Antennae galaxies
The collision, which began more than 100 million years ago and is still occurring, has triggered the formation of millions of stars in clouds of dust and gas in the galaxies. The most massive of these young stars have already sped through their evolution in a few million years and exploded as supernovas.
