Being able to watch a sunset

Sep 16, 2023

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

The post reminded me of my article exploring the possibilities of life on starless worlds. I can’t help but wonder about the incredible views they would miss. I’m fully aware I’m coming across as anthropocentric here but I’m a human after all. The serenity of sunsets and sunrises that our Earth and solar system are capable of producing really does make me happy.
