Science thrives on data and rigor, but it is the poetic wonder—the starry night’s mystery, the dream of distant worlds—that ignites curiosity, inspires new generations, and secures funding. Without that shared awe, astronomy risks becoming just another technical field, disconnected from humanity’s deepest questions about our place in the cosmos.Romantic imagination doesn’t replace evidence; it sustains the passion that drives discovery.
