    “Each year on the first day of summer I ask people to go out just before dawn and watch the sun rise—to see what a star rise over a planet really is,” he says. “And people write and tell me, ‘I’ve never experienced a sunrise before that morning.’ Through this little show, they’ve rediscovered the beauty of the universe.”
