>>8232169Once when I was driving to work early in the morning I was coming down a hill and had a great view of the sun coming over the horizon through some light fog, so I could look straight at but still clearly see its shape.
For some reason my perspective shifted and and I was genuinely struck by the scale of what I was looking at, the whole volume of space between earth and the sun. The distances and masses and sheer MASSIVENESS of the whole thing.
I actually had to pull over because I started to cry, one of the most intense and beautiful moments of my life
