MORE THAN JUST SIMPLE 'DOG-DAYS'

 


The scenes of month seven

Are utter delight,

As twelve pumped-up  fireflies

Vanquish the night





Eschewing the bee-dance

Of tight figure-eights;

Most soar haphazardly,

Seeking out mates...

Some amble eastward

While others turn west;

Yet, keeping them playful

Supplies summer-zest ! !

THERE ARE ~ 200 BILLION GALAXIES...

 

... yet then consider what makes up a galaxy: scores of planets, stars etc. !!





"On Tuesday morning, NASA rolled out a series of images that showed the capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope, the largest and most powerful space observatory ever built".


So, who still thinks that we're the only "human beings" out there?



On the other hand: "The 'rare Earth' hypothesis expresses the idea that Earth-like planets genuinely suitable for intelligent life are few and far between". 


'Food for Thought' would truly be an under-statement !

Quis hic locus,

Quae regio,

Quae mundi plaga?
