I managed to get through half the day before it occurred to me, but after that everything seemed depressing.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry I didn&#8217;t do a poem about stars or the NASA thing I mentioned yesterday.  I started to, but the above poem was nagging to get out instead.  The NASA thing was interesting, by the way, although I only listened for a short time.  They found and confirmed two planets orbiting a distant star.  There was something unique about this, but I did not understand what.  There are other multiple planet stars out there which have been confirmed, but this had some aspect different from them.  Anyway, it was cool to listen to.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for this week.
