My impression of a Sun transition across its almost eternal path. If a dimming takes place then we know that another Planet is revolving around the Sun. It might be an Exoplanet?

I placed my easel on some flat rocks by the river. I looked at the flow, the color and the quiet of the space. It said paint me and I did. I'm happy that I did. What a nice memory I've created for myself all these years later. 

When a Star (such as our Sun) Passes through the Red Giant Star faze towards it inexplicable end it then becomes a White Dwarf. A White Dwarf shrinks in size to approximately the size of Earth, but is 200,000 thousand times more dense than Earth. White Dwarfs are only surpassed by Neutron Stars in density. Amazing!

The movement of Star power is variable. Spilling energy into the Cosmos till a climatic and explosive ending. Then spewing life giving elements into the vast unknown. We are fortunate to have reaped these gifts.

When I was younger, A child, a teenager, I pointed my flashlight to the night sky and sent messages. Click, click and more clicking as I imagined my single beam of light would travel the width and breadth of Space. That it would be a singular event and understood only by some alien race. Ahhh! the happiness of imagination. I still remember.

Imaginative Sun and Planets lined up to resemble  cells in our bodies. In many ways we mirror the Universe. We are all truly made from star dust but our composition is arranged differently than the inanimate objects found near and far from us.

Imagination and scientific fact have many crossover points. The above image is an example of that marriage. Wonderment is a positive quality to possess and I am happy to share.

When viewing the Universe from our home Earth it is infinite, but when the Universe first came into being 13.8 billion years ago it was much smaller than it is now. It continues to expand and keeps its  deep mysteries from us for the time being.
