Kinda tough to take a laptop and 1.5 meter long telescope to the lecture on my bike.
My presentation style for this lecture will be more along the lines of Sagan and Tyson.

Much of the linked video was lifted from a program found on H2 called "The Universe". I am very familiar with it and often turn it on when I can't sleep, the lack of laugh tracks and loud interruptions I find relaxing. I watch it on Netflix and The History Channel's Apple TV app.
My wife saw the very episode with me a few days ago and looked at me wide eyed and said "I had no idea that stars where that big."
I will assure you that I will use Sagan's famous words about more stars in sky than grains of sand on all the beaches on the entire planet as part of my lecture. Which I said to my wife as we sat on the beach in Charleston a few weekends ago. I scooped up a handful of sand and poured it in her open hand and told her that line. She looked at me and said, "After all these years I am finally getting to know who you really are and I love him."
Y'all can all collectively go "Awe" now.
