Poem
A giant jellyfish was born emitted from a neutron star once on a whilom cosmic morn amidst the stellar seas afar. With tentacles from arcing crest, medusa-like it hangs on high cloudscaped with tendrils manifest in astral sky of Gemini. Exploding supernova yore— whose light reached Earth so long ago that last ice age was still at fore and ocean levels then were low by dint of all the ice around compared to what they are today, when history was oral bound though art in caves was on display— created nebula we see dubbed ‘jellyfish’, made of debris from remnant IC Four Four Three, five thousand light-years from our spree upon this tiny whirling world of Man’s vaingloried destiny, short-lived mid solar time unfurled, in what’s to be or not to be. If traveling at speed of light it very well might take about three hundred years of light-wave flight to go across its width throughout. The jellyfish on planet here are oldest multi-organ group of animals, found far and near free-swimming often in a troop that ocean currents might amass together, and there is a class immortal seeming, which can pass, to prior stage, when foes harass. In general, umbrella-shaped, these creatures’ bells have trailing limbs with stinging cells around them draped to injure one who too close swims. Pelagic animals, they dwell in seas and oceans everywhere, not all with venom to expel, plus special senses; further they’re adept at adaptation’s chain, with range fantastic; by the way, they manage well without a brain. Could we learn from their résumé? But back to Jellyfish in space, a pulsar may have formed in blast, or neutron star at rapid pace which first burst inward, spinning fast. The outer layers which caved in bounced outward in that stellar scheme of supernova with its spin begetting radiation beam that’s sweeping by like lighthouse ray, perchance a beaconed message from some bygone beings gone astray in bleeping beats of warning drum. Meanwhile on Earth we’re but a guest to Mother Nature’s knowing eyes in Goldilocks rare orbit blessed. How sad that life Man fails to prize! ~ Harley White * * * * * * * * Some sources of inspiration were the following… Article and image ~ What Spawned the Jellyfish Nebula?
