A Loose Mountain (Telescopic), Robert Frost, 1874-1963

Did you stay up last night (the Magi did)

To see the star shower known as Leonid

That once a year by hand or apparatus

Is so mysteriously pelted at us ?

It is but fiery puffs of dust and pebbles,

No doubt directed at our heads as rebels

In having taken artificial light

Against the ancient sovereignty of night.

A fusillade of blanks and empty flashes,

It never reaches earth except as ashes

Of which you feel no least touch on your face

Nor find in dew the slightest cloudy trace.

Nevertheless it constitutes a hint

That the loose mountain lately seen to glint

In sunlight near us in momentous swing

Is something in a Balearic sling

The heartless and enormous Outer Black

Is still withholding in the Zodiac

But from irresolution in his back

About when best to have us in our orbit,

So we won't simply take it and absorb it.

ΒΡΕΧΕΙ! βρέχει πολύ!!!

Και περπατώντας κάτω από τη βροχή, σκεφτόμουν πεσμένα πορτοκαλοκίτρινα φύλλα,

κοντομάνικα για ξεχειμώνιασμα στη ντουλάπα και

μουσικές, που... μυρίζουν Φθινόπωρο!

Το νότιο σέλας (Aurora Australis) από το διάστημα.

Αυτό το βίντεο δημιουργήθηκε από τις λήψεις των αστροναυτών του Διεθνούς Διαστημικού Σταθμού στις 11 Σεπτεμβρίου 2011, όταν ο ΔΔΣ διερχόταν πάνω από την ανατολική Αυστραλία.

Sunrise Sunset, Fiddler on the Roof Suite, Jerry Bock- Sheldon Harnick, 1964

Is this the little girl I carried,

Is this the little boy at play?

I don't remember growing older,

When did they?

When did she get to be a beauty,

When did he grow to be so tall?

Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?

Sunrise, sunset,

Swiftly flow the days.

Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,

Blossoming even as we gaze.

Sunrise, sunset,

Swiftly fly the years,

One season following another,

Laiden with happiness and tears.

What words of wisdom can I give them,

How can I help to ease their way?

Now they must learn from one another,

Day by day.

They look so natural together.

Just like two newlyweds should be.

Is there a canopy in store for me?

Sunrise, sunset,

Swiftly fly the years,

One season following another,

Laiden with happiness,

And tears

Apollo 12: Self-Portrait, Charles Conrad, Apollo 12, NASA, 1969

APOD 21/01/2006

Αντιγράφω από την ιστοσελίδα: "In November of 1969, Apollo 12 astronaut-photographer Charles "Pete" Conrad recorded this masterpiece while documenting colleague Alan Bean's lunar soil collection activities on the Oceanus Procellarum. The image is dramatic and stark. The harsh environment of the Moon's Ocean of Storms is echoed in Bean's helmet, a perfectly composed reflection of Conrad and the lunar horizon. Is it art? Works of photojournalists originally intent on recording the human condition on planet Earth, such as Lewis W. Hine's images from New York City in the early 20th century, or Margaret Bourke-White's magazine photography are widely regarded as art. Similarly many documentary astronomy and space images can be appreciated for their artistic and esthetic appeal."
