The Most Astonishing Thing
The most astonishing thing about the universe, in my eyes, Is not merely its gargantuan, unfathomable size, But the way its vastness ferries gorgeous, primordial light, So that as we look up into the night, The farther afield our gaze penetrates, the higher we climb, The farther we can see back in time.

Black Holes
In most observed galaxy hearts, Massive black holes reside, Formed from dark-baryon parts, As huge stars collapse or collide.
