VIEW FROM SPACE

The telescope we call The Hubble

(despite its initial brief trouble)

shows, in visible light,

deep-field, cosmic delight,

while making our knowledge redouble.

This limerick became part of The Hubble Telescope’s Mission Log celebrating its 20th Anniversary in 2010.

James Ph. Kotsybar's haiku achieved Martian orbit on September 22, 2014, becoming the first literature to another world, aboard NASA's MAVEN spacecraft. His poem, "Martian Connoisseur" has been circling the Red Planet for over 1,000 Earth days, however, Guinness Book of World Records, the Nobel Committee and Pulitzer Prize Directors have yet to weigh in on this record accomplishment. More information on MAVEN is available from https://mars.nasa.gov/maven/
