Through Hubble's Eyes

From space so vast, so wide so far away
Hubble's eye finds exploding gasses of
reds yellows pinks and blue then comes upon
Orions ring and another star or two.
Living art of mind-blowing magnitude condensed through the Magic Eye and down through the poet's pen into four exploding lines... provocative and awe-inspiring, Dan. I recently wrote of my wonder of Hubble library pictures which I viewed as part of my first astronomy lecture a couple months' back. I struggle to take in even the most basic of space facts involving science and numbers, but the colours are a real wow and those I CAN appreciate! Like this poem, thank you. xx
I remember when Hubble first went up and they discovered that the lenses were flawed. I thought then that it was such a waste, but after they replaced the lenses and with the sights and discoveries they've revealed since I've changed my mind. excellent tribute.
a fascinating exploration tool is it not D.L.? -- you capture the essence of what it has done to progress mankind's understanding of the immensity and complexity of the universe -- and love be with you my friend -- Jon Michael
The Hubble has opened our eyes to the universe more than anything before in all of history. Your poem captures the colors of "universal" pictures. Good write!
