Aviation Career WebQuest

look to the sky

We are beginning a journey. It will be a journey both strange and wonderful. In our tour of the Universe we will travel the vast empty pathways of limitless space and explore the uncharted wilderness of creation. Here, in the dark unknown immensity of the heavens, we shall meet with glories beyond description and witness scenes of inexpressible splendor. In the great black gulfs of space and in the realm of innumerable stars, we shall find mysteries and wonders undreamed of. And when we return to Earth, we shall try to remember something of what we have learned about the incredible Universe which is our home.

— Robert Burnham, in his introduction to Volume I: 'Robert Burnham's Celestial Handbook - An Observer's Guide to the Universe Beyond the Solar System', 1978
