What Is Space?
Space is the endless, three-dimensional region that extends beyond our atmosphere in which astronomical elements and events exist and interact. It is most often measured in three linear dimensions, but when considered with time, equates to an infinite four-dimensional continuum identified as Spacetime.
However you define it, I find it fascinating and present four haiku celebrating The Sun, The Moon, The Earth, and The Stars.
“For the wise man looks into space and he knows there is no limited dimensions.” – Lao Tzu
“Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me”
The Sun
Burning orb of light
Giving life to all it bathes
Need suntan lotion
“I see a bad moon a’rising”
The Moon
Master of the tides
A glowing orb of silver
What’s on the dark side?
“It’s a wonderful world”
The Earth
Spinning round and round
Like a weightless top in space
Please stop, I want off.
“Twinkle, twinkle…”
The Stars
Twinkling on high
Filling up the dark night’s sky
Joyful stars at play
You can’t talk about space without at least one Star Trek reference. So, here it is.
