Parsimonious:  stingy or frugal

Retinal:  relating to the layer of cells at the back of the eyeball that are sensitive to visible light due to absorbing pigments that trigger nerve impulses to the visual cortex of the brain

By most estimates, we see less than four hundred thousandths of the electromagnetic spectrum (light), or about 0.0035%.

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/
