00:00:00,012 --> 00:00:04,792
So nine weeks ago, in what seems like 
another life, we started this class by 

2
00:00:04,792 --> 00:00:10,231
stepping out into a dark field outside of 
Athens, looking up at the dots that we 

3
00:00:10,231 --> 00:00:15,622
saw in the sky, wondering what they were. 
And we started out by thinking what 

4
00:00:15,622 --> 00:00:20,911
Aristotle would tell us about this. And 
over these 9 weeks, we have followed in 

5
00:00:20,911 --> 00:00:26,003
the footsteps of many brilliant, creative 
individuals, and I think we have, it's 

6
00:00:26,003 --> 00:00:30,819
fair to say, that that has taken us to 
places Aristotle would not have dreamed 

7
00:00:30,819 --> 00:00:33,697
of. 
I hope that you have enjoyed the ride. 

8
00:00:33,697 --> 00:00:37,585
It's been intense. 
I've certainly enjoyed sharing it with 

9
00:00:37,585 --> 00:00:42,512
you, and I hope, my main intent has been 
to give you a sense of the splendor, the 

10
00:00:42,512 --> 00:00:46,982
grandeur of this endeavor of trying to 
understand the universe. Why it is so 

11
00:00:46,982 --> 00:00:51,307
beautiful, why it is so valuable, why 
it's so much fun, and why it actually 

12
00:00:51,307 --> 00:00:55,362
makes looking up at the stars even better 
than it would be otherwise. 

13
00:00:55,362 --> 00:00:59,863
Like many things in this class, the 
conjunction of Jupiter and the moon at 

14
00:00:59,863 --> 00:01:03,975
the beginning of the class was unplanned, 
and like many things in the class, it 

15
00:01:03,975 --> 00:01:06,951
worked out quite well. 
And we have surprisingly another 

16
00:01:06,951 --> 00:01:10,300
conjunction, or almost conjunction of 
Jupiter and moon today. 

17
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:13,119
And so this seem like a fitting time to 
end the class. 

18
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:16,846
Thank you very much for the time and 
attention you've paid, put into it.
