By expanding our grasp of the vastness of the universe, science has, if anything, increased the awe and reverence we feel when we look up on a starry night (assuming, that is, that we have got far enough away from air pollution and excessive street lighting to see the stars properly). But, at the same time, our greater knowledge surely forces us to acknowledge that our place in the universe is not particularly significant.
为了帮助我们更加深入地了解宇宙的广博，当我们抬头仰望繁星点点的星空时，（当然，前提是我们的天空没有污染和避开过多的街灯的干扰）科学的发现更增加了我们“惊奇和敬畏”之心。但是，同时，我们越多地了解星空，就越发感觉到我们自身在宇宙中的地位并不是那么特别。
