Who amongst you all feel Curious about the Universe around you?
Answers
Answer:
Growing up as a kid, even as a young adult, the idea of space and the universe beyond was always too daunting of a topic for me. I was how I suspect many of you still are, in which the topic sent my head into a kind of overwhelming frenzy. But as I matured and my curiosity in life grew, I started to have an interest in what the hell is going on beyond Earth. The more I’ve learned, the more fascinated I become of the topics of astrology, cosmology, and such. But I’m no scientist, and I still struggle with the distinction between these two areas of study and profession. For the purpose of this piece, I’ll keep the technical aspect out of it and go with the less scientific, more average Joe type terminology such as “space” and “the universe.”
Anyways, with this growing fascination, has come frustration and confusion. I’ve begun to realize that much of the world has great misconceptions about the universe and our place in it.
In my educational experience, the topic of space was generally limited to just our solar system. To the point where many individuals don’t know much at all beyond our solar system and some even think that’s all that space is. Therefore, my goal for this piece is two-fold. On one hand, I wanted to share some crazy facts about space to create more awareness but also to capture curiosity. On the other hand, I’ve found that a deeper understanding of space can create a greater appreciation for the Earth we live on and the fragility of life.
