"Bluestocking" Blue blew in like the truth in many different shades one tried immersing in shades of shadow but the light was louder Blue blew in like a neon sign flashing its underside like a stocking’s ladder the terminal loudspeaker for departure was like a shot of Uranian Blue Piñaq arriving not soon enough, knocked back some kind of heady celebration exits arrivals (LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

Well I can't feel bad about losing out to your precious one. It's been fun. I leave you with Chris Hatfield the astronaut/musician.. https://youtu.be/AvAnfi8WpVE

Profound, the overview effect. Thanks for sharing that--piece of intelligence. (I only got half-way through Sterling's Beowolf btw.. I will not look up to Orion again, though, without regard to his "dreadful sword of suns") Back to overview effect... I think I would cry, too. So, I thought you'd be a ringer to win, LL. We should collaborate. We can overview effect together. Unless, of course you'd rather overview effect with someone else ;)

Thank you Steven. While I do find that invitation and comment from you quite flattering, and I dare say most kind, “collaborations” have never been my forte. I would consider a collaboration, however, with another writer who is off page; that would be my daughter. And when that time finally arrives, it will be a winner, of a different kind (more than all the stars and planets in the universe and galaxies beyond). Thank you again.

Across the pond from me, the blue planet peeks behind the moon in Dec. Don't look up enough to track exits and arrivals. Need to be reminded sometimes what's up. Thanks, LL.

lol...well then, I'd have no hope of winning that kind of ticket. It is interesting to read how William Shatner felt about his free Bezos trip - https://www.npr.org/2022/10/23/1130482740/william-shatner-jeff-bezos-space-travel-overview-effect

Ok, viewing heavenly bodies at extreme magnification... if you say so. Yeah, I want a ticket. Speaking of blue, Jeff Bezos most likely to offer regular Joe a trip to space. Make it a poetry contest about space travel, exploring the cosmos, pushing our frontiers...something along those lines... winner goes.

Telescopes are for voyeurs. Surely one, if given the opportunity would travel, experience. Maybe they'll co-ordinate a lottery, and a budding space cadet could win a ticket. It will be interesting to see how it all pans out with commercial competition, over and above NASA.

L.L. I share your fascination. As far as relocation... Elon had a good plan for Mars. It could be made inhabitable, but he's more concerned with social media now. Uranus Moon's are named after Shakespeare characters--I like that. The rings, the stocking's ladder.. hard to see because of rotation.. I want a telescope for Chrstmas, an observation deck and a bottle of blue.

Uranus/Neptune (exploration of ...including other planets) - https://youtu.be/W0ly_BOLK48

Thank you for that piece of intelligence. I have added those facts, into my mission portfolio. Fascinating planet, including it’s 27 moons (the naming of; and exploratory of, are entire stories of mystery unto themselves). Whether life forms could exist within the major planet’s frozen watery gaseous domain, is doubted, but who are we to know, mere humans. Unless, we send a mission of some sort there to its inner atmosphere. Two Earth probes have flown past in the 70s/80s, but no craft has ventured into and thoroughly explored the atmosphere. They say, I am reading through research, that the atmosphere would destroy the metal of a craft.

Nasa advises that “as an ice giant, Uranus doesn’t have a true surface. The planet is mostly swirling fluids. While a spacecraft would have nowhere to land on Uranus, it wouldn’t be able to fly through its atmosphere unscathed either. The extreme pressures and temperatures would destroy a metal spacecraft”. I am curious to know how that becomes ‘fact’, when it hasn’t been explored by probe into the atmosphere. I am in love with all the planets, including Earth. But with all that is occurring on our planet at present, one could not avoid the anticipation and prospect of leaving our own planet’s gravity for other unexplored destinations. Interdimensional, or planetary.

The reasons for attaching Greek myth to Uranus, and not Roman such as all the others, to the planet Uranus, the fact it revolves on its side (like a ball rolling), not on its axis like Earth and the other planets, so intriguing. It is interesting in every facet (link below). With regards to the gender of each planet, how do astronomers and scientists assess? Is it by name, or by characteristics? Uranus is gender neuter. The more one delves into the mission, the more mysterious and intriguing. Like Saturn, Uranus has rings. I’ve been reading an exceptional book, “The Ringmakers of Saturn” by Dr Norman R. Bergrun (details link below). Could Uranus be the same? Take Saturn’s hexagon for example. That one is perplexing. Is it natural or unnatural - but that’s for another mission entirely. Along with Neptune, which is the farthest planet from the Sun and is ‘female’.

The question of intelligent extraterrestrial lifeforms existing outside the qualities and characteristics of human, is at present (and for some, a long consideration), a global topic around “Disclosure” (full truth). There is also the question of exploration for future off-planet settlement by humanity, in the event of catastrophe/extinction on planet Earth. It is interesting, where poetry leads a writer...or a reader, with an inquisitive and enquiring mind. Whether there is romance in that poetry/those thoughts ... for the reader to discern.
