摘要

While struggling in abject poverty in Nashville after the Civil War, future astronomer Edward Emerson Barnard received a Bible from his Sunday school teacher. He kept it his entire life, but apart from inscribing his name, he underlined but one passage (Job 38:31-32): Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades,or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season, or... guide Arcturus and his sons? When Barnard was a boy, it was still possible to see the Milky Way from downtown Nashville, and the sight of it filled him with awe. Today, in the U.S., less than 10 percent of children live in areas where views of the night sky are similar to those Barnard enjoyed. Would Barnard have felt the same sense of awe under the night sky that motivated him to underscore those verses of Job, and that inspired him to a passionate life of studying and observing the sky, if he had lived under light-polluted skies?
