I think sometimes we can become to scientific about Q regarding Astronomy everytime we look into a telescope we should believe that we are looking at a Lifeform not just a beautiful star cluster or Nebula & not something that is lightyears away but maybe is connected & part of our planet after all stars do give light when there is no moon even without the stars there would be no life on this planet!!

its the desire to know and understand ..... the quest for knowledge. Sure its goodjust to appreciate it, and bask in the warm glow . But we want more, well most of us anyway ,

Given that our entire planet and all its life forms were once all composed of star dust, you make a valid point.
The hard science connected with astronomy is both mind boggling and exhilarating, giving a sense of wonder and awe.
But the beauty and grandeur are truly soul stirring
Staring through a telescope (or even just naked eye viewing) for hours at a time is very much akin to a mystical experience, in my opinion.
