Being able to watch a sun set

To Manu’s post, which says:

Sometimes a beautiful sunset on a lake is all it takes to be happy.

The timing of his post resonated well with me. Even as I’m working on an article that explores possibilities of life on starless worlds, I can’t help but wonder about the incredible views they would miss. The serenity of sunsets and sunrises that our Earth and solar system are capable of producing really does make me happy.

Reflections. Dusk at Suvarna river, Manipal, India.
Dawn from above Bangalore, India.
A sunset is an opportunity to marvel at the giant nuclear reactor in our sky without burning our eyes. Photo: A beach in Mumbai, India.

I’m fully aware I’m coming across as anthropocentric here but I’m a human after all.
