Gibbous Moon, on this eve, on this night
Crosses high in the sky, in full sight.
Behold, there’s a star off to its side.
Oops, that’s not a star that you just eyed
That’s Jupiter. So bold, and so true.
Wave hello! ‘Cause you’re in its sky too.

Now I know it.
People like you can't get it done.
We all watched star trek. We know the bounds of our imaginations and how we can make that reality.
...but here we are.
Writing poems while the world is on fire.
Not my intent.
Thank you, Sir, for this flutter💛✌️
F-16 can't keep up with all its might,
Neil stay up late tonight,
and you might catch one in your sight.

“That big star is a planet.
And over there too, another one.
So we can see three planets at all at once, well the moon’s not a planet, but you get my point”
“No Daddy we can see 4 planets” and points at the ground.
That’s really clever right?
This is lovely. Thank you for sharing.
-Hodgson, Ralph
While circling moons around them roll.
Down here on Earth the landscapes burn
While plutocrats who've seized control
And neither act, nor think, nor learn,
Care only for the loot they stole.
We're left with only one solution:
Like planets, make a revolution!

"That poetic skeet sounds like something Neil deGrasse Tyson would post—his mix of science, whimsy, and accessibility fits perfectly."
Nice to have a style that's easy to identify. :D
In dark of night,
With conditions right,
Unobscured by firefight,
Or rampant satellite,
Or warehouse light,
Orbiting E.T.'s
Might know our plight...
- Democritus
Space is physical: expanding, warping; its fields of virtual particles thrumming continuously. We need to replace the word “and” in Democritus’ famous statement to “with”.
“Something” includes the “nothing”
**sticks this to my fridge with magnets**
Sorry Neil. I miss the days when my daughter was in the 3rd grade.
I give you an A for "effort" though.
Just finished reading Starry Messenger. Thank you; very well done...now tell me how you really feel! 😎🌙

I only get my astronomy news from poems.
Which planets and on which side of the moon are we viewing from the northern hemisphere?
