Hearing stellar events.

I sit here watching the Science Channel and amazingly I can hear
things like the explosion of the big bang, stars exploding, galaxies
colliding and you can even hear the whoosh of asteroids passing. Wow!
I just heard the boom of a gamma ray burst.

You have exceptional hearing!

I know what you mean, there just a bunch of noobs really they string other
peoples material together and then present it as there TV show. However alot
of these programs are aimed at people who don't understand the slightest
about the subject that there watching.

Me too - except its my special extra hot sweet chilli chicken recipe - coming through on the diarrhoea express!

'Lo Foxtrot --

Most scientists do not favor this type of thing, though they
do realize the need for certain types of "popularizing." It's
sort of like the difference between so called "heat lightning"
that is silent, and the nearer, visible streaks of lightning
closely followed by the BOOMs of thunder.

light = words
sound = music

It's the same with poetry, and why rhyme when put to song
is *so* much more popular than a dusty book by Emily D.
or E.A. Poe.

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

Eclipse! Eclipse! Oh red and tawny
Moon's mysterious glows,
Watch! soon our Moon again embrace
Earthshadow's ruddy flows.

'Tis Mars who sometimes ventures close
and sparks a bloody war
to end all wars and bring us peace,
that we may kill no more.

Ha, ha, just a minute Paine, I happen to like E.A. Poe's work
for it was his dark written eloquence into the possibility of what
awaits the too curious. To use caution in opening doors for you never
know what awaits the unsuspecting or innocent. Yes, you are right, it
takes a fortified mind to handle Poe but the thrill is what is worth the
read. He scientifically challenged and inspired me in those in between
school study hall periods and never left me asking for more, but dare I
go on, for what is going to happen next? Ha, ha, and good poetry like
yours is food for the soul. (:~)

One of my favorite Poe quotes is...

"Sleep, those little slices of death, how I loathe them."

Thanks to your soul for dining!

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

a Secret of the Universe...
so please don't breathe a word of this--
the Moon above will smile perverse
whene'er it sees two lovers kiss;
(breathe not a single word of this!)

Ha, ha, Paine, and now you know why the nightbat normally comes
to you in between those loathsome slices of death, between the waking
hours of dusk to dawn. Where each formidable dark night is saved by the
promise of each new bright morning light. Fly through the darkness oh
brave soul, for never do you know when the last of the morning light
shall you see. Nightbat tries to always bring you light to help get you
through the night!


Thanks Paine,
the nightbat
