Could it be ... that it has become your thread?
Could it be ... that "wonders" is a major claim? So big that it feels hard to reach?
Could it be ... that we are simply spoilt by you?

HOW.. could I ever claim any thread to be 'mine' !?
HOW.. could anyone NOT feel 'wonder' or awe at some pictures or music.. ..or any other expression of art, according to their heart and feelings !?
HOW.. could I 'spoil' anyone, while I've simply exposed here a tiny selection.. ..of the pictures and things I've found and come to appreciate, like, or love !?

Six Planets from Yosemite
Explanation: The five naked-eye planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, have been seen since ancient times to wander the night skies of planet Earth. So it could be remarkable that on this night, standing at the side of a clear, calm lake, six planets can be seen with the unaided eye. Have a look. Very bright and easy to spot for skygazers, yellowish Mars is left of a pale Milky Way. Saturn is immersed in the glow of the Milky Way's diffuse starlight. Jupiter is very near the horizon on the right, shining beyond the trees against the glow of distant city lights. Last weekend, while admiring this night time view across beautiful, high-altitude Lake Tenaya in Yosemite National Park, a thoughtful and reflective observer could probably see three planets more.

From what I know...
Venus' albedo makes it easily visible. Mercury can be seen inside the rising sun's glow. Uranus asks for a very clean sky, without any polluting light around, to be (barely) visible. No chance of observing Neptune with your bare eyes.
The reflection on the lake does help, somehow, I guess.
But don't ask my poor eyes miracles;. ..and I have never been very good at sky observation.
