We are a way for the cosmos to know itself

We are a way for the cosmos to know itself

This is one of the most beautiful and profound things I have read of late

“When we look up, we look for ourselves. Dr. Sagan once said, “We are a way for the cosmos to know itself,” and that could not be more true. We long to understand why we’re here and to find meaning in a world where meaning is so often difficult to divine. Telescopes like this remind us that in spite of our specific challenges on Earth, the possibility of connection still exists.”

Too beautiful and so overwhelmed!
