Today in astronomy lab I went to the roof of the science building at my school (Neckers), and everyone in the class looked through the telescope at Saturn, which from Earth, looked so tiny and precious; Like I could hold it in my hand. I charted it's prescence and it's moon's, and then for fun, we were able to look at the moon as well, and since the moon is much closer than Saturn (much, much closer), I could see every little crater on the surface. I felt like I could have seen an alien if I looked hard enough.
After all that, I couldn't help but look at the sky and wonder if I'm really all that's out there. There's gotta be more.
I'd never felt so much like a figurine in a snow globe in my entire life.
