if science doesn’t make you want to write poetry you’re doing it wrong

YOUR ANCESTORS CALLED IT MAGIC, BUT YOU CALL IT SCIENCE. I COME FROM A LAND WHERE THEY ARE ONE AND THE SAME.

Poetry about science?

The orbits of the moons and planets form a fractal 4-dimensional helix in spacetime.

The Angel Nebula

The bipolar star-forming region, called Sharpless 2-106, looks like a soaring, celestial snow angel. The outstretched “wings” of the nebula record the contrasting imprint of heat and motion against the backdrop of a colder medium. Twin lobes of super-hot gas, glowing blue in this image, stretch outward from the central star. This hot gas creates the “wings” of our angel. A ring of dust and gas orbiting the star acts like a belt, cinching the expanding nebula into an “hourglass” shape.
