It's quite spectacular really. You feel as if you can reach out and touch the Magellanic Clouds. They look like real clouds, but are spread across space and time. The locals call this the "giant emu". There is no feeling quite like the realisation of being attached to the universe; and actually seeing it spread out forever directly over your head connects you in a very primitive way. This connection is something humans lost by packing together in their concrete mega-cities.
The good news is that you can get it back.
