I missed a view of the Strawberry moon
because it was overcast in Portland.
This wasn’t such a surprise
for a night at the 45th Parallel.
What do you see when you look up?
Clouds? Pollution? Or clear skies and stars?
What if that view
were filled with satellites instead?
If your long-exposure telescopic images
were streaked from right to left,
criss-cross, and up and down?
How many launches will it take
to fill the night sky?
How many lost fireflies?
Will the endangered be missed
when we have their genome frozen in a dish?
How is the view on
This Week in Science?
