The End
and the Beginning

"From our home on the Earth, we look out into the distances and strive to imagine the sort of world into which we are born. Today we have reached far out into Space. Our immediate neighborhood we know rather intimately. But with increasing distance our knowledge fades, and fades rapidly, until at the last dim horizon we search among ghostly errors of observations for landmarks that are scarcely more substantial.

The search will continue. The urge is older than history. It is not satisfied and it will not be suppressed."

Edwin P. Hubble
(Astronomer 1889-1953)
