Exiled Wanderer

Journey Through Life - Zenith and Nadir

What's above, you'll find it close to the earth. What's hidden beneath, it stretches its ends to the sky. In this journey of life look beyond the surface to see anew And allow the truth of ancient knowledge to reveal itself.

I've had this vision in my head for years and step by step, month by month I finally managed to realise it and draw something personal.

The whole scene and the meaning is open to interpretation. One can dig it and perhaps find something unearthly..

As the Sun rose again It revealed the road to dawn A brilliant path upon still waters To be traversed with full sails

Just beyond the shore was a vessel Bleached a brilliant white From many lifetimes of waiting Underneath the fall and rise of sunlight

Shining bright as the Moon It bore the elegance of a bygone era Before nations were born Before empires crumbled into dust

From the shore, a song could be heard Of a heart that loved, a heart that yearned To be free of the pounding rain and storms And permitted to reach what lay beyond

As the dew lifted in the morn After the great feast had subsided The fleet that patrolled the coast Saw the ship on the horizon

Starlight had filled the sails Of the aged beauty And a gentle sigh Snapped the anchor from the seabed

Oh! What a Voice to command That such a pearl be called To far-off silver shores To behold the endless Light!

Comet Lemmon’s Wandering Tail Image Credit: Ignacio Fernández

Explanation: What has happened to Comet Lemmon’s tail? The answer is blowing in the wind — the wind from the Sun in this case. This continuous outflow of charged particles from the Sun has been quite variable of late, as the Sun emits bursts of energy, CMEs, that push out and deflect charged particles emitted by the comet itself. The result is a blue hued ion tail for Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) that is not only impressively intricate but takes some unusual turns. This long-duration composite image taken from Alfacar, Spain last month captured this inner Solar System ionic tumult. Comet Lemmon is now fading as it heads out away from the Earth and Sun and back into the outer Solar System.
