Stars in the Night Sky
Strewn on black velvet abyss
Wonders to my eye
I must never miss
Any crucial, one detail
Of the Awesomeness
Of the Universe
No poem, song, or a rhyme
Can capture in verse
The glory of Time
The wonders of Space and Stars
We humans must climb
The cliff face of Space
We humans must know our place
Upon God's True Face
Other than my haiku series, today was great. Nick and I ventured to the Biosphere where we visited the Amazon,
a fog desert, the ocean, and a forest. It was a great experience and although not worth twenty dollars I learned much about our planet. Also apparently Bees only sense UV light... And then can evolve to sense visual spectrums within a generation. Fascinating and conclusive to evolution.
After the biosphere, I continued to have a fair day with the group and consumed delicious chicken wings. Immediately following the meal I watched, courtesy of DA and Jenny's computer, a PBS production on the achievements of a new idol of mine: The astronomer Hale, who apparently wanted to compensate for something with big, no gigantic marvels of engineering. I must thank him though, as these achievements revolutionized the view of the universe and gave us the insight necessary to achieve our current understanding.
I can hardly contain my excitement for the tour of Mt Hopkins observatory tomorrow. Perhaps I can write a poem on that as well
The Biospheres sound interesting. I would have liked to have gone, but my time was better spent data-crunching, for all it was worth.
