Our heads sometimes spin with how quickly – minute by minute, second by second – the world around us seems to change: from seasons, to technology, to class periods, to… your moods! 😉 But some things don’t change. At least… not as quickly. The night sky, for example. Do you realize the stars you see in the sky are in the exact same place they were (more or less) when your ancestors gazed upward thousands of years ago? Mitakuye oyasin! Rejoice!
