Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I woder what your are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night
Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How true that is... :) isnt it? The universe is a place full of miracles happ
ening around....1 of them is the light emitted by the stars which are light years far from us( earth ). It is said that the light of a star travels in future. Strange...isnt? I will try to explain: The nearest star from earth is Alpha Centauri which is said to be 5ly (light years) far from earth which means it takes 5 years for light to travel from earth to star or vice versa. So the light emitted by the star today will be visible to us only after 5years. Now let us assume that the star dies today and it is falling in space so obviously we will not be able to watch it 'LIVE' falling, instead we could see the same only after 5 years as it takes 5 years for light to reach earth from Alpha Centauri. So though the star is not there we can see it falling, which means that it has come in the future...
*The light of the star actually does not travel in future but it seems to us because we are light years far from it.. :)

“When the going gets tough, The tough get going.” -
“It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.” -- Neil Armstrong
“Our sun is one of 100 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy is one of billions of galaxies populating the universe. It would be the height of presumption to think that we are the only living things in that enormous immensity.” -- Wernher von Braun
“If human being like us can be possbile then everything can be possible in this universe.” -- rN
“The reason why sometimes something feels impossible is maybe because the human brain has only that much capacity, otherwise everything is possible.” -- rN
“Possible and Impossible are two words that humans have created otherwise what was possible and what was not?” -- rN
