| Stars and Birds - Windows to Life Synopsis of HTD Speech by Mr. Lam Chiu Ying, Former Director of the Hong Kong Observatory (17 Apr) | |
What is the colour of the sky? Blue? Black? It took me a long time to find out the answer. When I was fourteen years old, I went with a constellation book to Victorian Park which in those days was very dark. While I was looking, it occurred to me that I was not looking at the sky. Most of the time when we thought of the sky, we were thinking it as a reversed bowl. But at that time I discovered I was not looking at a black bowl, I was looking at nothing; it was space with no light coming into my eyes. So it is actually colourless. It is infinite space. | |
