Which does Whitman seem to value most i when i heard the learned astronomer?

In "When I Heard the Learned Astronomer," Whitman seems to value personal experience and the beauty of nature over academic knowledge and scientific analysis. While the astronomer's lecture is filled with facts and figures, it ultimately leaves the speaker feeling disconnected and dissatisfied.
