"Oh Wow" — "It's full of stars!"

SEE HERE We all spend just a flicker of time on this blue planet floating in the darkness of space.  We have ideas about what it is all about and some of us claim to know what it is about, but among those who claim to know there is a great deal of disagreement so everyone can't be right.  We look for clues, pointers to what is beyond our horizon and those on the threshold often give us hints.  Some claim to have visited and returned.  We only know that it will be our last destination on our journey setting forth from this blue marble 93 million miles from a burning ball of hydrogen into some greater unknown.  "Oh wow!" seems appropriate and it brought to mind another moment from the movie "2001 a Space Odyssey" when the protagonist, David Bowman, enters the large monolith between Jupiter and Io.  CLICK HERE
