Chicken Hawk Floats William Duffy Farm Life
532 wordsLying in a Hammock at William Duffy's Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota Over my head, I see the bronze butterfly, Blowing like a leaf in green shadow.

Back In Time Speed Of Light
829 wordsOften when I look at the stars when I'm in bed at night I shudder to think of my insignificance in the immensity of the Universe. The distances in the Universe are inconceivably huge, so we measure them in light-minutes or light years. A light minute is the distance light travels in one minute, and that's a long way, because light travels through space at 300, 000 km a second. So in a minute it would travel 18, 000, 000 km. The distance of the Sun from the earth is about eight light-minutes whic...
