Space is vast and is incorporated with many mysterious components that make us wonder about the possibilities of a new world out there. It demands a lot of research and experiments but what interests us is the completely different universe out there which as humans we are yet to witness.
It is about the exploration of hidden facts, mysteries, and most importantly what lies on the outer space that has existed all this while but still was hidden from us. The mystical nature of space is what fascinates us the most and that is the reason we are inclined towards delving deeper about it through different mediums.
Pandemic might have just changed the definition and the fate of 2020 but there are many magical moments we got to witness once we started noticing the sky above us starting from the Rare Super Flower Moon to the Lyrids meteor showers to ETA Aquarids.
