It is 5 am and it’s too dark to see the fields of volcanic rock and trees on either side of the highway. But over
the lights of my ear, I get a taste of the
41
I’m really here for, as a few stars Pierce (
渗?/p>
) the inky
42
sky.
Today
our
relationship
to
the
universe
is
largely
connected
byes
43
,
such
as
telescopes
and
NASA
assignments. But for thousands of years, humans could
44
look up on a clear night to be
45
at the
bright spots that stretched (
延伸
) directly over them.
But
over
time,
we’ve
46
ourselves
from
our
sky,
building
a
covering
of
artificial
light
between
ourselves
and
the
dark
depth
of
space.
Our
47
,
neon
signs
(
霓虹?/p>
),
and
other
electric
lights
are
increasingly flooding the night sky and
48
the stars.
49
, about one third of the world’s population
cannot see the Milky Way from where they live. And some can’t even recognize it. The sense of wonder fo
r the
night sky
50
, and that means something vital to humanity is lost as well.
That’s why I’ve dragged myself out of bed hours before
51
. Like 99 percent of Americans, I live with
52
pollution and I’ve never seen a truly night sky. So I’m here to
53
my first glance.
As I
54
out of the ear, I
55
raise my face up towards the sky, worrying whether I can make it.
There it is,
56
across the sky as far as I can see. The Milky Way is so vivid that my eyes don’t even have
to
57
the dark to see it.
I expect to feel the
58
of the sky, perhaps as though I’m falling into a bottomless hole. Instead, the
blanket of stars above me is so thick that it is hard to
59
. In black and white, the whole scene feels surreal.
As I get back in the ear, I pass a
60
that says “Never Stop Looking Up.?/p>
