Wow. Best I can do. To be able to see these events and comprehend what we are seeing ...

Sometimes I think long and hard, trying to craft a comment profound, or witty, or philosophical. And fail.

Science, astronomy, and the modern technology that makes this possible. We almost take it for granted. Wow.
