Mercurial Beauty

Ethereal, the earth no longer beneath my feet
Words immaterial, I will try nonetheless
Otherworldly hues imperial to our accustomed views
Nightly masterpieces our asterial neighbor creates
Unique beauty in our mercurial clouds

No not yet but your Granddaughter is one year from graduating with an Astrophysics degree and has a very good chance at Princeton for graduate school. She is heading to Australia with a research group and has discovered an exoplanet.
