Human life is geared to the rhythm of day and night. The day is committed to work and activity, and the night to rest, to leisure, but also to contemplation on the universe. Stars are the link between the earth-bound human existence and the eternal and infinite cosmos. So, humanity needs the night, requires the darkness – even if darkness is frightening and is considered as the personification of danger and evil.
