ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS of stellar phenomena are studied, not because astronomers think they can reverse, prevent, or repair the destruction to “our stars” from colossal, nova explosions.
The interest is, humbly, to understand; being resigned to reality that what is happening out there may not be controlled from here.
This is how it feels when watching the intimidating protests against Israel on behalf of radical Islam. That a massive explosion is coming, and all we can do is, humbly, watch and try to understand.
