Beyond the Skies

Looking beyond the skies, see the stars so far away. Shining bright through the night, till one of them brings us day. Rigel, Arcturus, and Sirius too. Which one a red giant? Which one a massive blue? Through the right set of eyes, you can see them up close. Or look to the other moons, the planets, quite gazed upon the most. The red world, the ring world, the big orange ball. The burning world, the ice world. Can you name them all? Floating in this emptiness, around the sun we race. Floating in this black void, this place we call space. And beyond our own neighborhood there's more and there's more. Looking above the clouds, to see what's in store. Andromeda, the crab nebula, the famed horse head. So far apart in this universe, almost forever we're spread. There's pulsars, there's quasars, and neutron stars. Neutrinos, and black holes, and moons covered in scars. Comets and asteroids and big clouds of gas. Some objects that don't seem to move at all, and some unbelievable fast. Looking beyond the heavens, there's just so many things. From huge supernovae to impossibly small strings. Every where you turn, there's always much more. So much do discover, with an infinity to explore. But the most amazing thing we know, of to which the universe has given birth. The most overlooked place of all, the planet we call earth. And because we're down here, and we look up there. Just maybe, there has to be. More life somewhere?
