When I was a child, I had a dream, a vast and boundless dark space, sitting on an asteroid the size of a house, surrounded by eternal night and silence, and there was no possibility of returning to my home.
That loneliness, that helplessness, makes your heart seem to be hollowed out, full of sight, only endless despair!
So what does it feel like to actually stand on an asteroid?
On September 22, 2014, the European Space Agency's Rosata probe reached 27 kilometers away from the comet 67P/CG after a 10-year and eight-month journey and took three photos of the comet with a narrow-angle camera.
In 2018, an amateur astronomer named Roger Perez selected these three photos to combine them into a stunning photo of the surface of the comet, which is the first time we have been able to look at a geological feature called Seth on comet 67P/CG from our own perspective, which is located on the larger fragment of the two fragments of the comet, a little to the left of the center of the photo.
I believe that anyone who sees this photo of the dark world with a strong sense of three-dimensionality will be shocked.
It is a colorless world far away from us, far from any life, as dark and silent as hell, creepy.
You can imagine how lonely and desperate you would be if you were exiled to this place—there would be no life, not even a microbe, surrounded by endless darkness, your home on the earth hundreds of millions of kilometers away, where the sun is shining and the birds are singing, and you have to live in this dark world for the rest of your life.
Fortunately, this is just imagination, at best a dream.
Thanks to Rosetta, we can glimpse a completely different world in the universe hundreds of millions of kilometers away, and there are many more such worlds, asteroid belts, Kuiper belts, Oort clouds, countless such hells, spread to everyone on Earth, everyone can get one.
So I think we should cherish the earth, we are besieged by countless hells and vicious clumps, and within a few light years, the only thing that can keep us alive is this insignificant planet.
If the earth is destroyed, whether it is a nuclear war or a climate collapse, we have nowhere to escape, only your soul, can occupy such a dark hell - if people really have a soul.
