"Since we astronomers are priests of the highest God in regard to the book of nature, it befits us to be thoughtful, not of the glory of our minds, but rather, above all else, of the glory of God." — Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), father of celestial mechanics
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
and the son of man, that thou
visitest him?
Psalm 8:3,4
