I have to admit - I have for the most part been "self-learned" and read a lot of books - way ahead of my age - when I was a kid I was fascinated by the universe - and I would say one of them, who influent my imagination was Carl Sagan - and Cosmos, the series - and the book, who still is in my book shelf by the way even if the book itself is old and most of the information outdated by now... Stewen Hawking have also influenced me, even thought I have to admit - most of his writings is way over my head...
But for some reason I have remembered Herzelsprung-Russel diagram - specially when it comes to the main star class - and specially the rime - O Be A Fine Girl Kiss Me have stuck to me...
The Universe is amazing, just what our systems have managed to discover the last decade or so is just amazing to be honest - and even still - most of it are not even discovered - I are just waiting for the first news about a solar system - who might as well resemble our own - out there in our nabourhood.... As our technology is making progress - so does the possibility of discovering a small rocky planet - who resemble our own.. And it might also be the discovery that we are not alone in the universe - maybe we have "families" out there - who struggle as we do - making progress to something better...
