“I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and I was a street kid… There was one aspect of that environment that, for some reason, struck me as different, and that was the stars… I could tell they were lights in the sky, but that wasn’t an explanation. I mean, what were they? Little electric bulbs on long black wires, so you couldn’t see what they were held up by? What were they? My mother said to me, "Look, we’ve just got you a library card… Get out a book and find the answer.” It was in there. It was stunning. The answer was that the Sun was a star, and the stars were suns except very far away… The dazzling idea of a universe vast beyond imagining swept over me… I sensed awe." - Carl Sagan
