And just, you know, this dark sky with the bright stars. And I have described this in my book years ago. If the Milky Way is all bright above you, you don't need a moon or anything, you can walk in the starlight and you will find your way.
Anna discusses her reflections on stargazing and notes that she wrote about this experience in her book, 'Searching for the Oldest Stars'. The conversation highlights the beauty of the night sky and the feeling of connection to the universe.

The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Buy The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams on Amazon
Now let me leave you with some words from Douglas Adams in 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy': 'Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly 92 million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descendant life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.'
Lex shares a quote from Douglas Adams' 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', reflecting on the insignificance of Earth in the vastness of the universe.
