So nine weeks ago, in what seems like 
another life, we started this class by 
stepping out into a dark field outside of 
Athens, looking up at the dots that we 
saw in the sky, wondering what they were. 
And we started out by thinking what 
Aristotle would tell us about this. And 
over these 9 weeks, we have followed in 
the footsteps of many brilliant, creative 
individuals, and I think we have, it's 
fair to say, that that has taken us to 
places Aristotle would not have dreamed 
of. 
I hope that you have enjoyed the ride. 
It's been intense. 
I've certainly enjoyed sharing it with 
you, and I hope, my main intent has been 
to give you a sense of the splendor, the 
grandeur of this endeavor of trying to 
understand the universe. Why it is so 
beautiful, why it is so valuable, why 
it's so much fun, and why it actually 
makes looking up at the stars even better 
than it would be otherwise. 
Like many things in this class, the 
conjunction of Jupiter and the moon at 
the beginning of the class was unplanned, 
and like many things in the class, it 
worked out quite well. 
And we have surprisingly another 
conjunction, or almost conjunction of 
Jupiter and moon today. 
And so this seem like a fitting time to 
end the class. 
Thank you very much for the time and 
attention you've paid, put into it.
