Envision It in the Night Sky
Janet Kuypers
01/30/11
it occurred to me
that when you see these stars
in constellations in the night sky,
those stars aren’t right next to each other...
the closest star to our own
is one hundred light years away
i mean, there’s an entire nebula
representing one of the stars
in the belt of Orion.
If you moved away from our planet,
the whole concept of constellations
as we know it
would be lost:
nothing in the Universe
would appear as we envision it
in the night sky.
