My emotional baggage,
must drain the life from you.
I don't wish to cause trouble,
but it's become apparent, I do.

I will no longer refrain,
from stating a fact,
when you are mistaken,
turn around and go back.

Confusion, reigns,
in my mind.
Perhaps, you can help,
my memories to find.

What does a supernova remnant sound like? Although sound is a compression wave in matter and does not carry into empty space, interpretive sound can help listeners appreciate and understand a visual image of a supernova remnant in a new way. Recently, the Jellyfish Nebula (IC 443) has been sonified quite creatively. In the featured sound-enhanced video, when an imaginary line passes over a star, the sound of a drop falling into water is played, a sound particularly relevant to the nebula's aquatic namesake. Additionally, when the descending line crosses gas that glows red, a low tone is played, while green sounds a middle tone, and blue produces a tone with a relatively high pitch. Light from the supernova that created the Jellyfish Nebula left approximately 35,000 years ago, when humanity was in the stone age. The nebula will slowly disperse over the next million years, although the explosion also created a dense neutron star which will remain indefinitely.

When I was young,
so many years ago,
I fell in love,
at least I thought so.

It may have been love,
or just a big infatuation,
but as I recall,
it was more like a sensation.

A sensation of warmth,
that made me feel funny,
for after I met her,
all of my days were sunny.

I hope to return to,
where there was a chance,
to submerge myself,
in relearning to dance.

Old time dance steps,
or anything new.
It's what I would like,
to dance there with you.

I am very sorry,
for allowing myself,
to become fond of you.
It was inappropriate,
allowing this to happen.
You were very kind,
shortly after my
wife passed away.
I became too dependent,
upon you. I'm sorry.

Thoughts of being near the ocean
are in my mind. Many years we spent
on the Oregon coast. I miss it. I will
return again, alone with my memories.

A sadness today,
my love's gone,
now 3 months.
I am still alone.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Here is what the Earth looks like during a solar eclipse. The shadow of the Moon can be seen darkening part of Earth. This shadow moved across the Earth at nearly 2000 kilometers per hour. Only observers near the center of the dark circle see a total solar eclipse - others see a partial eclipse where only part of the Sun appears blocked by the Moon. This spectacular picture of the 1999 August 11 solar eclipse was one of the last ever taken from the Mir space station. The two bright spots that appear on the upper left are thought to be Jupiter and Saturn. Mir was deorbited in a controlled re-entry in 2001. A new solar eclipse will occur over North America in about two weeks.

The Old Fool,
At risk, once more.
Another mistake,
With an open door.

Assumptions many,
Not keeping score,
Mistakes, again made,
Now a closed door.

Will you learn a lesson,
Unlike you did before
As you irritated the one,
Who has locked the door.
