Science enhances wonder, but only if we resist allowing it to enframe us. Even when we can explain the Spectre through scientific principles, this should not diminish our first hand human experience of its beauty or its symbolic resonance. On the contrary, the scientific explanation itself can inspire wonder, as it reveals the profound, unchanging laws of the universe through a different symbolic language. Both forms of symbol and consequent wonder draw us to consider the atemporal aspects of Being, and the Ground upon which it, and we, depend.

Fascinating! I'd never heard of a fogbow before.
