Who is not fascinated by space and all the mysteries it holds? Every night we gaze up at the stars and the moon and wonder if there is other life out there and marvel at the beauty of the black sky and twinkling white stars. If you know someone who is infatuated with the universe you can give them a great educational gift with a map of the earth and the stars.
I rise in the dawn, and I kneel and blow
Till the seed of the fire flicker and glow;
And then I must scrub and bake and sweep
Till the stars are beginning to blink and peep;
And the young lie long and dream in their bed....
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
