I was pondering what a tiny part of the universe we are on my ride this morning into Boulder from Keystone. The first hour of my drive was extraordinary as the sun came up over the Rocky Mountains and I cruised down I-70 at a high rate of speed in the bat mobile.
I had another reminder of this as I cruised through my Daily folder. The Astronomy Picture of the Day has been delighting me every day since I started looking at it a few weeks ago. Today’s is a movie of Japan’s Kaguya spacecraft’s last moments.
Kaguya crashed into the Moon last week as planned. Amazing. We are small.
