When the first human ancestor looked up at the night sky and wondered what those
shiny objects were. Not just looked at them like any being with eyes could do, but
wondered what they really were. Even if they had the answers wrong for ages, the

This is an act that no other creature on Earth probably ever did then or now.

Corny, but true.
