We are stardust...
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Now we're learning what you are.
For by spectroscopic ken,
You're Helium and Hydrogen;
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Now we're learning what you are.
Now we know that you went bust
Filled the void with clouds of dust.
Oxygen and carbon are
Elements made in a star.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
What you've made is what we are.
~ Neal McBurnett
If only he were a better poet! Because science is magical. Because the universe is magical.
