ASTRONOMY TODAY

A single, barely blushing pixel tells of another world that could be like our own –

so far away, it’s at the resolution limit

of our very best telescopes.

nonetheless, it still

speaks volumes

within

this

dot.

I love the form of the fibonacci  in reverse for this particular topic.  Its lines diminish into the final line of “dot.”

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/
