Voyager 1 is expected to leave all solar influence behind, and slip into interstellar space soon, very soon. It will be the first man-made object to do so.
An inconsequential piece
Of jetsam
Floats miraculously out
From the sun
Out, out
So long, goodbye
We’ve heaved you gone
And yet you write back
Every day
As if you’d found work
Out there
Beyond the heliopause
Where strange bits of nothingness
Collide ceaselessly.
What do they make of you?
Too smooth, too rough?
Too many kinds of things
patched together
To be of any use to entropy?
I do hope
Things work out for you.

Science fact made into poetry! 🙂
Science is poetry, to me. Much more mysterious and fantastical than all those invented stories of aliens and ghosts.
