~ Looking Out ~
In the entire course of human history, only a handful of us have escaped the Earth's atmosphere and gazed out at the burning stars.
This feature is all about astronauts (and cosmonauts), our first cosmic explorers.
“Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars.”
― Carl Sagan, Cosmos
This is part two in a three part feature that explores depictions of humans in space art. Next week, Stardust!

The Planetarium: Ep. 10 -- Stargazing~ Looking Up ~
I remember stargazing as a child.
Those long summer nights, watching shooting stars and listening to the crickets, feeling the breeze on my upturned face.
I'd be willing to bet that for most of us -- the astronomy geeks and space artists -- this is how it all began.
Look up. Look up and touch the sky.

“There’s as many atoms in a single molecule of your DNA as there are stars in the typical galaxy. We are, each of us, a little universe.”
