Space discoveries are breathtaking and wondrous. They can even lead us down a research rabbit hole. But will we ever be able to fully wrap our heads around what’s been discovered?
The Mysteries of Space
It happened again –
a news flash
a breaking report
something wholly unimaginable
now tangible, visible, viewable
This time,
we see – we actually SEE – a black hole
Next time,
what
we can touch the space-time continuum?
And there they go
the scientists
working their eye-rubbing nights
unpacking data and synthesizing feeds
Until one molecule reveals the universe
And I am all here for it!
The majesty! The wonder!
I! Want! To! Know! MORE!
So, I read
I dig into the research
And I remember
with just a wee bit of resignation
That although I may now
have seen a black hole
I sure don’t have any clue
what I’m seeing
Thank your scientists,
friends
For figuring out how to
translate
work into wonder
