Do you know that when you look at a planet and you see that light, that planet's not even there? That's just a light. That's just your neighbor shining a flashlight right into your yard looking for 'coons, and he says "What are you doing in my back yard? ..With that flashlight?"
And I told him "I'm shining in the window so I can teach your son about the universe".
He said, "Get out of my yard, and why are you communicating to my son? Why are you in all black, behind my bushes, shining a light into my house?"
And I said, "I'm teaching your son about the universe! I'm shining a light right in there and exploring his room, as he's looking out and exploring the universe. I turn the light off and I see your son go to bed, and I turn the light back on and I do swirls on his wall like a comet's tail.
I do this every night with your son."
