Mia<p>"You ask me which I prefer -<br>the stars themselves or their mirror<br>image on the puddles of our path<br>home. Their light as strong<br>as moonlight, the night cold and still.<br>We take a shortcut across an overgrown rath,<br>old stones that seem to spill<br>haphazardly, but if you haul back the long<br>ivy tendrils, hack through the brambles, you <br>will find patterns there, you</p><p>will know lifetimes ago we gazed<br>at the same constellations amazed<br>by such brilliance, and found in their rule<br>the measure of each year, each journey.<br>Do you remember how it was?<br>The seasons of study in the star school<br>scanning for portent conjugations<br>of sky beasts which peopled the sea<br>of our heavens. Do you remember<br>that crazy light we tracked one mid-winter?</p><p>The light they later called Christos,<br>and the terror, the blood cost of that Logos?<br>How our arts were eclipsed and many<br>gentle comrades tortured and burned?<br>How the songs we had crafted for travel<br>were lost, language itself lost,<br>when we were scattered like sparks to the wind? So well<br>you might ask - the light, or its image, turned<br>in a puddle, surefooted friend on the path you roam<br>by the light of a million million suns home."</p><p>'Home by Starlight', by Paula Meehan</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Poetry</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nature</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Stars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Stars</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a></p>

Scientists Find a Quadruple Star System in Our Cosmic Backyard
First, the #astronomers identified what they believed was a lone #browndwarf orbiting a bright single #star. Further investigation revealed that the brown dwarf was actually two. After submitting a paper about the discovery, Dr. Zhang said, they realized that the bright companion was a pair of #stars, too.
“I like to call this a double-double,” said Adam Burgasser, an #astrophysicist.
