by imaging a form of life that from the primitive beginning of its civilization was aware of it's place in the universe, it's crushing smallness in comparison to the rest of space was away of their loneliness as a species maybe even theorizing on the possibility of life other planets able to look up a observe sun spots and supernovas like we observe mountains and rivers.

these are only a few questions that would need to be considered to form a full picture of an alien species that might have such a unique view of the universe
