Ripples 09:27
Ripples in the fabric of space-time Gravitational waves The cosmos at play Reaching us now in this time and this place Gravitational waves Ripples in the fabric of space-time The absence of light The blackest of holes Energy beyond comprehension Clashes of worlds The ending of time Gravitational waves Ripples in time Ripples in space Ripples in the fabric of space-time

A Blue Dot 06:55
Overcome by the splendor of space There is meaning, but it does not show its face Timeless as the human concept Holding on, holding on Majesty and all its glory Conception of a million stories A boundless journey never ends Will we ever comprehend? The blue dot circles round the sun Famines rage and wars are won And people carry on the same Killing each other in her name Beauty in the sky Harder to tell night from day The wonder never goes away A blue dot Circles the sun

Juno 05:36
We’ve waited five years for the engines to fire To orbit the giant, much older than time The mysteries of life, how the system was formed Will the answers be found in the water? Will the answers be found in the water? The vortex is twice as wide as the earth The storm has been raging, it goes on and on Hydrogen, helium, hydrogen sulphide Clouds of ammonia, for thousands of miles It takes so long to orbit our sun My baby has grown, look what she’s become 12 years have passed, so distant and cold Radiation belts, protecting her core Strip out her secrets, we want to know more Strip out her secrets, we want to know more

Mars 11:19
Say goodbye to everyone The countdown has begun The years of training lie behind The dangers are ahead We’re leaving Earth for Mars It will take 6 months to get there Breathing stale recycled air Staying sane will be a challenge We have no room for emotional baggage We’re leaving Earth for Mars Cosmic radiation and random solar flares Asteroids and space debris Could catch us unawares In the emptiness of space We could die without a trace But still we’re leaving Earth for Mars It’s a cold planet And the air is too thin to breathe It’s a dust-covered planet There is nothing here but rock We look at the sky to the planet we left And we’re all in a state of denial and shock. We left the Earth for Mars
5.
Cassini 08:30
And now Cassini is dipping down Through the top of the atmosphere A series of loops around Saturn’s rings We await the data that it brings We’re always looking for answers To predict the future, we look to the past Just a thousand miles above the cloud tops To sample the gasses of the upper atmosphere Will we be right about the hydrogen and helium? And the number of hours in a day? 24 is 10 they say We’re always looking for answers To predict the future, we look to the past And then dramatic self-destruction will follow After 20 years, the fuel running out The giant world so far away Will swallow Cassini, a cosmic ballet
6.
Slowly coming around After the longest time Which way is up or down When there is no ground? Waking slowly from a dream Stifling the urge to scream The vaguest of memories Come drifting back to me Inside a tin-can coffin I don’t believe I’m here Aside me, are they moving? Silent as the grave The captain and the others No sign of alpha waves I am the sole survivor I am the only one My muscles ache from atrophy Gravitational dependency Out here there is no amnesty And no one to show empathy Not much to see but darkness And tiny dots of colour A devastating beauty And wonders without number Devastating beauty
7.
There is no limit to the edge of beyond Boundless possibilities wait to be found No time like the present, the future unwritten No time like the past, with specters unbidden Imagination casts a warming glow The shadows yet to be discovered The forgotten souls drift aimlessly on Fueled by kindness, mindless, lost Those without names have yet to be born Unique as a dream, vivid and strong But fading in daylight, where reason belongs And those who were named, are now long gone The edge of beyond...
8.
An endless expanding existence Of time and space and matter Everything in coexistence Mind-blowing incredible distance Numbers we can’t comprehend In the observable universe alone A hundred billion galaxies Each with billions of stars Just a tiny speck of dust There’s so much bigger than us We can’t imagine what it’s like The scale is truly dreamlike Some stars are youthful like our sun Classified as Population 1 There are also massive giants Passing through space, deadly silent The earth is orbiting our sun At sixty-six thousand miles an hour We do not stop to contemplate It seems so fast, we can’t relate
9.
Unspoken 07:01
Everything you left behind Everything you cherished Everything you counted dear All your hopes and fears Earth won’t last forever But the universe has no end And memories will not die We step into the future The future is unspoken There are no words to say Life behind was broken Mankind got in the way Look to a new horizon Where everything is dark The space surrounds the stars The pinholes and the sparks And on the point of balance You tip the scales of chance Remember every feeling Every lost romance The future is unspoken There are no words to say Life behind was broken Mankind got in the way

about
