It can be nice to just get lost in the stars -- the wonderment that comes from staring up at the vast blackness of space, trying to make sense of the universe. But like here on Earth, there’s a certain appreciation that comes from having a map to tell you where you are so you can ponder it all with a sense of understanding and belonging.
