As we look at the night sky, it is only a miniscule area of this vast universe of ours.
The stars that we see may be thousands of light years away, but they are still close neighbours in our vast universe.
The hubble space telescope circles the Earth free of distortion caused by our atmosphere, revealing a universe of amazing complexity, mystery and profound beauty.
Here are some images taken by the hubble space telescope from the book:

**********************
The important thing is not to stop questioning.
Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality.
It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend
a little of the mystery every day.
~Albert Einstein

The Crab Nebula.
The remnants of a supernova seen nearly a thousand years ago, is a writhing mass of expanding gas with a pulsar at its center.
