The Night Sky
No matter how far along you are in your sophistication as an amateur astronomer, there is always one fundamental moment that we all go back to. That is that very first moment that we went out where you could really see the cosmos well and you took in the night sky.

Understanding Eco-Anxiety
Clinical psychologists and researchers have recognized a new phenomenon called “eco-anxiety.” The adverse effects of climate change are no longer documented solely in science-related news; they now feature rather prominently across media. As a result, this particular type of anxiety is growing steadily. It demands to be understood, studied, and discussed. Though eco-anxiety is not yet a diagnosable condition, therapists and researchers have noted a sharp rise in the number of people anxious about climate change and environmental degradation. This anxiety is today referred to as eco-anxiety.

However, they can start anywhere on the mountain and can push right over ridges in their path.
