gold and the rust
The colour erupts,
you filling my cup
The sun coming up
Like I lived my whole life
Before the first light

Have you seen our #ESAEuclid #FirstLight images?
Below is just a teaser - here they are, in full glory:
Behold the #FirstLight of a new instrument called the #KeckPlanetFinder (KPF) on the #Keck 10-m telescope in Hawaii. The image is a rainbow (or spectrum) of a star named 51 Peg, made famous in 1995 as the first sun-like star known by humans to have a planet. KPF effectively opened its eyes to 51 Peg. And it did so on Carl Sagan’s birthday, November 9.
