new horizons

Haiku I wrote on canvas back for my 6,000th tweet. It was dedicated to NASA’s New Horizons mission to Pluto-Kuiper Belt. The image is a picture of Pluto taken by New Horizons. (Image credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Southwest Research Institute)

Text borrowed from 1,000-year-old Japanese poems to create a new haiku. Words pasted onto a meteor track chart from “Memoirs of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 36; Volumes 1866-1867.”
