The weight of the heavens
set on the scales of time
reduced to facts and figures
what once was celestial majesty
has become mathematical
precision and location of the stars
The universe and it’s beauty reduced
to the base of all its atoms within
what we questioned is now quantified
Just finished my astronomy unit one test. I suppose these are my thoughts so far. It’s fascinating to think that the stars were gods and spirits to people, but now I’m calculating their distance and evaluating their chemistry.
