Re: Venus returns!

I remember the first time I managed to see some of Jupiter's moons, (through binoculars).

Just four or five miniscule white dots close to a slightly bigger white dot in the blackness - but special nevertheless.

You can't help but be awed when looking at the night-time sky. It's only then when you realise what a tiny, insignificant little piece of rock the planet we call home, is, in the overall scheme of the universe.

Can we really be alone? - I for one don't think so.

Regards
Mike.
