Space: The Final Frontier!

would that we could wake up   to what we were
— when we were ocean 
and before that
to when sky was earth,
and animal was energy,
and rock was liquid
and stars were space
and space was not at all
— nothing.

before we came to believe
humans were so important
before this awful loneliness.

Can molecules recall it?
what once was? before anything happened?

Singularity, by Marie Howe

My first trip to Orion

Orion, hunter of the beast!
His sword hung gleaming by his side,
And, on his arm, the lion’s hide
Scattered across the midnight air
The golden radiance of its hair.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Galaxies and Planets

“After 4 decades of desiring to photograph the heavens, finally Unistellar made it possible!”
