The Ancient World Imagined
<p>— Have you ever looked up at those unimaginable heights from where constellations, scattered across the boundless sky, send us their distant ancient light? — Joshua asked Louise and Tanita.</p>
<p>— Of course! — Louise replied. — Surely, everyone has been captivated by a starry sky at least once. It draws me in like a magnet. There’s no grander spectacle!</p>
<p>Joshua paused for a couple of seconds.</p>
<p>— For astronomers, the Universe is like a treasure trove! — he continued. Exploring it is the best reward they can imagine.</p>
<p>— Astronomy is a fascinating science, — Tanita chimed in. — Did you know that, on average, each galaxy contains about 200 billion stars? What could be more interesting than studying the cosmos? I think it’s simply amazing!</p>
<p>— Absolutely, — Joshua agreed. — The scales are astonishing, both in terms of space and time. When people started observing objects in our Universe, they quickly realized how incredible they were!</p>
<p>— I heard that the perception of the world around us changed dramatically when they invented the first telescope capable of better observing previously known objects and discovering new ones, like nebulae. It turns out the Universe is much larger than previously thought. — Louise said.</p>
<p>— By the way, I heard an amusing assertion, — Tanita added, — that if you were to get into a spacecraft and fly away from Earth at the speed of light, time would reverse for you. And if you looked back, you’d see dinosaurs running around!</p>
