Searching for the oldest stars
Buy on Amazon"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."
The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Buy 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.'"
