A tribute to NASA:s ParkerSolarProbe´s mission to the vicinity of the Sun. This is what I call a "Sonnet in progress", as I have republished the poem when I have written a new stanza. The sonnet is now complete.


Circle rounds (Sonnet now complete.)

Each circle round it squares within itself
cocoons, equations all by shivers spun
weaved, into perennial equatorial shelves
lay bare, barely explicit puns.

Bundles bright contrive, all seem seam beams of light
conspire, in those mirror halls tiny mosaic bals.
Strings of shells perceive sway ringing kites
scroll through facts in heap, transcribe, glints enchant.

Pins n´balls so lightly game, gravitate
´twixt fields of shafts, gray signals glimmers lay
osmotic shields neat ´cipher cosmic rays
Mother Earth discards, or at bosom bays.

Circles rationale, note, set strings on our lyre
restraints originate, life, aspire.

-------------------------------------

NASA:s Parker Solar Probe mission was
launched the 12th of september this year,
" begining a revolution in our under-
standing of the star that makes life on
Earth possible ."; it will also enable us
to "better understand our universe."

Under it´s seven years journey
towards the Sun, the satellite will
continually undertake scientific
operations. It will come as close
as 3.8 million miles, with the main
object to study the sun´s corona,
"which is more than 300 times
hotter than the Sun´s surface,
thousands of miles below..."

The scientists are also eager to
find out what "drives the
supersonic solar wind"; material
emitted from the Sun that
constantly "blows through the
entire solar system..."

And thirdly, "what accelerates
solar energietic particles";
leaving the Sun, they are able
to reach "more than half the
speed of light..."

Seven years from now, we might
be able to understand these
intriguing phenomena, funda-
mental to our existence here
on Earth.
