*promote the beauty of people being in awe of seeing something so simple as the moon through a telescope. Perhaps people like me who have a telescope (though I can only dream of having one that nice) are spoiled. The universe is an amazingly beautiful place, it's nice he was able to help share even a simple bit of it with random people.

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Friday, March 16th, 2018 4:03am PDT - promote requested by RFlagg.

It looks like he's pushing around an evil R2-D2.

Lovely video and message. Especially the relevant use of *music by Debussy, Claire de Lune.

Invocations (music) cannot be called by b4rringt0n because b4rringt0n is not privileged - sorry.

Psalm 19:1-4

The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
2
Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
3
There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.
4
Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.

I miss this... used to bring out my scope to gatherings. I have made people cry looking at Saturn in particular through a nice scope.

I had this experience up in Burlington, VT once - a bunch of home hobbyist astronomers had set up their telescopes on the street and were inviting people to take a look at astronomical bodies (moon included). The feeling of being able to see that level of detail with your own eyes is indescribable and it definitely reignited a sense of awe and wonder at space. Loads of towns around the world have similar groups that do public viewings - highly recommend it if you ever have a chance.

looking into telescopes is a lot of fun
