When I was a little boy, I loved learning about space. Nothing ever came close to beating my love of dinosaurs, but space earned a solid second-place. I grew up in a large metropolitan area, and I've mostly visited other urban centers, so I've never been able to observe the night skies all that well.
Videos like this touch on that wonder I felt as an eight year old leafing through a National Geographic book on astronomy. I didn't really comprehend everything I was looking at, but I knew that it was amazing.
