When the little Prince decided to
explore other planets, for sure he gazed up at the stars and cured his
loneliness. Oh warm night, we all love to climb on top and fall into the
endless darkness. For centuries human beings have watched the sky in search of
transcendental answers. Carl Sagan, prominent American astronomer, said that
the study of the universe is “a long path of search inside us. We have begun to
contemplate our origins and in some way understand our insignificance in the
never-ending Cosmos”.
A contemplation of a starry night, it faces your
ultimate destiny of the universe. Where is the end of this complex and orderly
system? Has the universe existed forever? When the night is set for seeing
fascinating objects out in the Cosmos, you can be lost in space time watching
planets, stars and galaxies in the Milky Way. Maybe it will make you appreciate
everything in existence.. Could our lineal and limited mind understand extension and age of space?
Stephen Hawking,
an important man of physics, said: “We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on
a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That
makes us something very special.”
Regrettably, not everyone gets to be an astronaut in
his spacecraft and we are not aboard any space station or belong to NASA. However,
we can explore gorgeous “sims” dedicated to space and you can enjoy the
artistic concept of our solar system, in Euclidia. It has been set in a larger
red galaxy with planets; also you will see a group of moons, a countless number
of comets and asteroids. I found a beautiful planetarium in lunar orbit and I
descended in a tenuous atmosphere environment.
A Planetarium, Euclidia:

You will see fascinating photos of the
shining Andromeda Galaxy, colored asteroids and many planets captured by NASA. They
are eye-catching. Come to Cosmos Portal Camp and look at the sky through this
telescope. You will feel powerful observing 100 thousand million stars with
your naked eyes. They are all insignificant in the face of infinite brilliant
stars. There are as many as the number of sand grains on an earth´s beach.
Completing this planetarium tour, you will find a
unique educational museum in honor of Professor Carl Sagan for his immense
contributions to astronomy research. This museum also includes the famous
expedition through Solar System and is a resource for learning about space
science discoveries. They serve as important guide to basic astronomy
information.
The studies
of astronomy is often linked to specialist in science and technology. General
knowledge about this topic contributes
to personal enrichment, and a better understanding of the world as a whole. If you, through your avatar are able to familiarize
yourself with cosmos, the entire universe opens up before you. You will be able
to comprehend how the existence around you has its laws and how it is
interconnected with human evolution.
Most
of what we can learn about the universe is based on observing stars. They are pretty
important because not only do they light up the sky, they also illuminate our
intellect with their life cycles.
