In this episode, Oh, the Sights You'll See! When the Clouds Flee!
Oh, the May Gray and June Gloom, what a plight!
For sky-watchers longing for stars in the night!
Your telescopes sighing, all dusty and sad,
"Oh, where are the heavens? This weather is bad!"
The California coast, with its marine layer so thick,
Plays hide-and-seek games, a mischievous trick!
But good news is coming, as summer draws near,
A cosmic grand show, to banish all fear!
That misty old blanket, it loves to entwine,
Our sunny, bright days, with a cool, foggy shine.
But nature, you see, has a plan, it is true,
Building anticipation for me and for you!
For lo and behold, as the days stretch so long,
And summer air warms, where the clouds don't belong,
The core of the Galaxy, vibrant and grand,
Will soon grace our skies, all across the whole land!
With billions of stars, and with nebulae bright,
And dark dusty lanes, a magnificent sight!
From Carlsbad and Vista, when twilight fades,
The Milky Way's arc will be beautifully made!
Like diamonds uncountable, sparkling and bold,
On velvet so deep, a story untold.
So don't just go twinkle, oh no, they will blaze!
Inviting your eyes, through the cosmic-wide maze!
Now, when is the best time for this wondrous display?
Not early, not midday, but after midnight, hooray!
When the moon has gone down, and the darkness is deep,
The galactic core rises from its slumbering sleep!
Less atmospheric fuss, and a view crystal clear,
As planets all spin, for the vision to peer.
And as July and August, then quickly will fly,
It will rise up much earlier, to greet every eye!
It's more than just stars, it's a feeling so deep,
A connection to wonders, while slumberers sleep.
A glimpse of the fabric, so ancient and vast,
A beauty profound, that forever will last!
So, dust off those lenses, charge batteries bright,
Prepare your own eyes, for an unforgettable night!
The universe calls, with a whisper and hum,
The majestic Milky Way is surely to come!
Are you ready to see, with your heart and your soul?
The core of our galaxy, making you whole?
Share your grand plans in the comments below.
Of what you will see, in the celestial glow!
Happy stargazing, friends, with a twinkle and cheer!
I'm Patrick Ball, and I'll see you right here,
In the cosmos, so curious, and questioning bright,
Until next time, good night, and good cosmic delight!
