Science…
Started in the stars,
The Milky Way galaxy in which our solar system is spinning,
Was on full display each night.
Before the first hypothesis,
Before the logic, the language, or methods of mathematics,
We had the movement of the stars.
A nightly mystery that even today,
Can inspire wonder and curiosity.
The first science was naturally one of astronomy.
Of using our knowledge of the stars,
As a compass through time.
Hinting at an order to the universe,
With a predictability that followed the seasons.
In the thousands of years since,
The mystery of the motion of the stars has been solved.
The scale of our universe growing,
From a planet to a solar system.
From a solar system to a galaxy.
From a galaxy,
To billions of galaxies in an ever-expanding space-time.
And as much as we have discovered,
As much as we have understood,
Large mysteries remain yet unsolved.
Some of the most familiar and simplest-sounding questions,
Like why gravity exists… how life got started…
and why some people can’t seem to get enough of…
