Many years ago I was driving across Canada, in the night, and stopped for a pit stop (completely empty highway for miles) and noticed clouds in the dark sky which made no sense and there were stars in front of the clouds! I then realized the clouds were not clouds but the Milky Way Galaxy ( the galaxy we live in) and were composed of millions of stars. A sight I never saw again. Yes, it should be on everyone's bucket list.
And as kittyboy posted, maybe we have lost something by not having a sense of the larger world - both on earth and the cosmos.
