Seeing Stars As They Were by Adam Rutter

credit: Adam Rutter

Four pointed star on house wall

One at the front

Other at the side

Stars, not true shape Sun, star in the sky Shines, providing daylight to planets

Tiny points glimmering

Suns faraway

Their light travels vast distances

Going from one corner of galaxy

To the other

Growing dimmer with time

Reaches human eye

Seen as minute bright dots

Looking back at cosmic history

It always blows my mind that every star is really a sun ☀️☀️☀️

Adam - earthly limits never limit how far your imagination travels. Keep star-gazing!!

Good writing Adam. Last meeting, one of our new members wrote an amusing story in which we learned that the sun is really a star but does not have 5 pointy bits!
