“To fly free in space”

To fly free in space. STS-41B.

Some day, when I float /

up there, above the Earth, /

flowers still will bloom.

Some day, when up there,

I float above the Earth,

rivers will still flow.

When up there, some day,

I float above the Earth,

the clouds will still breathe.

Above the Earth, some day,

when I float up there,

Moon and Sun will laugh.

You do not deserve

some day, they say, this beauty

of the Earth below.

“Transcendental Pi”

Transcendental Pi

From the right Space Seed /

Grew the Amok Time baking.

Warped fork-ter for two.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Objects”

Objects

We live reflected: /

objects distorted in space /

and layered in time.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Space”

Space

Physical and mental,

bruised with color, words, and shapes,

walls contour your space.

“The world”

The world

Over my shoulder, /

Earth is a small orb in space. /

Still, it fills my dreams.

“Plead”

Plead

From the depths of space /

The pale blue dot pleads again: /

Love the one you’re with.

“Running Chicken”

Q.: Why did the Running Chicken Nebula cross the galaxy?

A.: To get its photo taken by Hubble.

IC2944, Running Chicken Nebula, is a cluster of stars associated with the surrounding emission nebula located towards Centaurus constellation at 6500 light years from Earth. The object spans some 100 light years across the sky and is visible only from the southern hemisphere. The image includes another two emission nebule, the bright IC2948 and the fainter IC2872.
