This was my first time joining a stargazing tour, and I was very fortunate to meet a guide in Joshua Tree who is deeply passionate about the night sky. His tour is dedicated to restoring the ancient connection between humans and the stars.After electricity was invented, 97% of the light in the universe became invisible to the naked eye. The starry sky we see today is completely different from what our ancestors once saw.The guide shared four incredible photos taken with a military-grade telescope, but the most fascinating part of the night was using a light-intensifying device. Unlike a telescope, it doesn’t magnify the stars—it simply enhances visible light. Through it, I discovered just how alive the night sky is: satellites moving across space, stars flickering at different speeds and intensities. Under such a sky, it’s impossible to imagine ancient people not believing in constellations, creating myths, or following seasonal rhythms.He also told us many stories about the stars. For example, he described an image of three children sitting in a canoe, with three freshly caught fish hanging from its side. When this scene appears in the northern hemisphere, it signals the arrival of summer. I couldn’t remember which stars he mentioned at the time, but after looking it up later, I believe it was Orion and Sirius.The relationship between ancient people and nature is truly magical. Looking up at the vast cosmos, it’s hard not to feel like a child of nature. The universe offered patterns that people turned into rhythms, which guided farming, hunting, and daily life year after year.It made me wonder: who is more attached to certainty—modern people or the ancients? I think it’s us, modern people. Surrounded by steel and concrete, everything feels permanent. Electricity, water, and food supplies are increasingly stable and controlled. Yet when modern people enter a no-service zone like Joshua Tree, they often feel helpless—unaware that within this seeming uncertainty lies a profound sense of safety.
