There are many ways elements of the universe correlate to man-made matters, such as keeping time or organizing events, in a systematic manner.

we were lying down in the palpable darkness, we would identify as many constellations as possible. Although, the main night that stands out to me, was when her father brought his telescope outside to give us a close viewing of Jupiter. That moment still affects me today since I have continued to stargaze in my yard or when I’m in the vast cornfield around my neighborhood. I have realized from my passion of viewing constellations, it has led to my interest in aerospace engineering, as well as,…
