Perspective.

Why is the world so much cooler upside down? I finally went sailing on Monday and while on this little sailboat thing I lied down on my back and let my hair drag through the water and watched the world float by upside down. It reminded me of the swingset at lake calhoun which for some reason is so much fun to watch everything upside down.
Another perspective was brought up in Intro to Space Science class. I've always thought that the stars look pretty much the same wherever you are, but I realized that I've never been to the southern hemisphere! I'm missing out on half the celestial sphere! Hopefully in the near future I will be able to experience the big dipper upside down.
A final perspective before I hit the sack: if you were to hold a dime in an extended arm towards the night sky, the amount of sky that FDR's eye is covering up (a very small amount of sky) has this much stuff packed into it. Crazy.

cheers to the enlightenment!
