Go stargazing and rethink your place in the cosmos

​One inspiring way to get a new perspective is to just look up–at the starry nighttime sky. Of the countless celestial bodies twinkling above–each between one and 10 billion years old–the one beneath your feet is our unique, special, shared home. And it's the only one we’ve got in this galaxy. That’s a thought sure to fill you with pride (and a little bit of gravity) too.

So grab your family for a night of stargazing: choose a spot away from as many human-made lights as possible, check the weather for clear conditions, and download a beginner's stargazing app to help identify the objects above. And turn off that phone! Your eyes need to adjust for proper night vision.

If you're in Tagum City, check out their stargazing activity from March 18-23. Too far from Tagum? You can still stargaze in the comfort of your home or areas close to your neighbourhood. Set up comfortable chairs and embrace the tranquillity.

Just think: Humankind has already worked together to explore the evening skies above. Imagine what we will achieve if we keep focusing our collective powers toward preserving the Earth?
