And now I have been modelled in LEGO, with the first verse of The First Flute, Played in Enceladus's Light: Five Voices.

Congratulations. That's marvelous.

The best days are those when science and poetry overlap.

Amen.

You folks should all go vote for the names of Pluto's fourth and fifth moons.

I will be intrigued to see how the choosing goes. Cerberus & Styx have current leads; I just wish Pluto had been circled by all the Hadean rivers. (Having to cross the rivers to reach Pluto, and there's the ferryman! PEOPLE.) Oh well.
And now we have Vulcan in the fray as well thanks to William Shatner...

I voted for Acheron!

This is wonderful! Having it written out this way with poetry words and sometimes pieces of words, and letters, gives a sense of the halting, haunting quality one imagines for a piece played on the first flute.
