The universe is truly remarkable and there are so many fascinating phenomena to experience and learn about, it's a shame that it's only things like this that make it to the popular consciousness.
It may be banal to you, but it's something nearly anyone can experience with a minimum amount of equipment. Yeah, I'd rather see a star go supernova or a comet impact, but I don't have a telescope that's powerful enough to show me that.
