1. Maybe we ask because we think we can fix it. Nothing to fix in sunshine.

   1. I think it’s the pain and pleasure paradox, again …

      1. I believe you’re right. That’s why we need beautiful photographs to remind us of the pleasure 🙂

      2. Agreed 😀

2. Well…in modern astronomy we understand a lot more about the sun, and the life cycles of stars. We even understand mosquitoes. But that stuff that can be attributed to human nature? That’s a lot trickier! 🙂

   1. … agreed Jenny … My paraphrasing in my own head is to do with appreciating the things we take for granted, and be a little less concerned with the problems … or something like that !

3. There is nothing new underneath the sun. But without the sun we are history. If we could marvel at how incredible it is that a giant fireball keeps us all alive…how humble we would all be – how little BS there would be.
   Great quote Don 😀

      1. 😀 Went to do voluntary work at the Observatory with the ten and BoB today. (Out in Knighton) Was cool – they got to check out the telescope etc. Teen got a free tour Yesterday and is now a member. Super chuffed for her, my little astrophysicist/astronomer to be 😀 (she is so passionate – bless her cotton socks!)

      2. Passionate takes after her mum … star gazing perhaps the same !

      3. Got to keep an eye on those stars hey – have you SEEN how big those mothers are??
         (A little more focused and logical and practical and grounded then her mum. – a lot actually – but still a dreamer 😉 )

      4. … pretty big then … inconceivably !
