Description


"September's coming soon...
I'm pining for the moon.
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around a fairer sun...?"

The Creative Power of Dreams

They have now found more than 370 worlds out there beyond our solar system! By next year they believe they'll locate some 50 Earth-type planets just in the constellation Cygnus. There is a new orbiter up there right now, concentrating on that specific area of sky seeking worlds like ours.

The new theory is, that EVERY star has planets: and there are more stars than grains of sand on every beach on Earth.

Is that exciting, or what?! In 10 years, maybe this image will be more than fantasy!

(This is re-worked from a previous submission. I took the lady's photo in a swimming pool. Thanks to R.E.M. for the verse.)
