You might be wondering how I'm spending all this time alone without getting bored, and my answer is; books. Indeed, I've been reading a lot in this spacecraft, by my request they've added quite a few. Other than the scenery, words and poetry are keeping me company during this otherworldly adventure. Yes, I love reading poetry, especially Shakespeare's sonnets. In next to no time, here I saw from a distance Uranus, and I must say it was enormous, but not as giant as Saturn or even Jupiter. Still massive overall.
Its icy thick atmosphere and clouds were of a brightening cold light blue, and within all of its dullness, I could still embrace the feelings of lonesomeness and quietness. Being as far from Earth as I am surely wouldn't give anybody a sense of ease; as a matter of fact, it'd be better to say it's a paradoxical calmness. I feel both safe and unsafe, both calm and nervous. You never know what awaits from such a distance, especially in worlds nobody has yet to explore.
Uranus has a ring system. One just like Saturn but a lot smaller and less present in its appearance. Somebody might say that in a way, its thinness could make it as elegant as Saturn's rings, but I don't see it that way. It's really nothing special, but still quite a remarkable thing to notice. Furthermore, the planet rotates on an inverted axis, which I thought would look less weird compared to what I'm seeing right now. Truly, magnificent.
Do you ever think about how many coincidences make a planet the way that it is? And how many coincidences lead to the creation of these worlds? In a way, they're comparable to people once again, for the reason being that in our life we're affected by other people's behavior, which generates our personality and thus we'll repeat this cycle infinitely. The universe works the same, but instead of our way of being, the creation of stars and collision of asteroids are fundamental in the creation of planets.
Oh poor Uranus, I wonder why the solar system excluded you in such a harsh way; but your fate is not the worst, since Neptune is ever further, but I still feel empathy towards you. You're such a cold and desolated place that it seems as if this universe forsake you, but do not worry; I shall bring a little bit of company to you too. Although your rings are not as elegant as others, and your colors may not be the most lavish, I won't leave you alone, and I won't treat you any different than the others.
