I've never seen a glacier before, have you?
Glaciers have never been accessible to most people.

The night sky has, until recently.

Are you sure? Most people live in urban centers the last few generations and see few if any stars in the night sky
Yeah. Hiked on and around them in PNW mountains.

Good for you getting that in before they disappear, probably got to see the night sky also, you can tell your grandchildren about that.
