  10. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.  When I consider your heavens,  the work of your fingers,  the moon and the stars,  which you have set in place, What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? Psalm 8 

  11. Theodore Roosevelt and I used to play a little game together. After an evening of talk, we would go out on the lawn and search the skies until we found the faint spot of light-mist beyond the lower left-hand corner of the Great Square of Pegasus.

  12. Then one or the other of us would recite: ‘That is the spiral galaxy in Andromeda. It is as large as our Milky Way. It is one of a hundred million galaxies. It consists of one hundred million stars, each larger than our sun.’

  13. Then Roosevelt would grin at me and say ‘Now I think we are small enough! Let’s go to bed.’ William Beebe
