The View from Artemis II

Earth appears serene from outer space
Showing not a trace of who hates whom,
A cloudy veil shields her face as if modesty prevails
In the cosmic beauty of nebulae and galaxies~
Five billion years from now who will remember?


NOTE; The Sun is expected to die in approximately 5 billion years. Currently, at about 4.6 billion years old, it is middle-aged and will continue to burn hydrogen for another 5 billion years before running out of fuel. It will then expand into a red giant, likely consuming inner planets before fading into a white dwarf.
