I'm into Astronomy and Star Gazing.

Its very humbling to know that we're nothing but a tiny speck on the Universe, and there's gazillions of stars, galaxies and most probably life doing the same things that we do, and thats cool. Go figure.

Same here. You can actually do that even without a telescope, considering how many free research data is available online... Lots of the space telescopes put their images out for free, not to mention older missions like Voyagers (with people still discovering stuff from them)
Living in a decent-sized city, light pollution bums me out a bit. I really wish more municipal governments took this seriously.
