eleven-fifty-nine-thirty-five into a
single year.
I've inserted two stick or obelisk,
two great spiral galaxies,
two robot explorers from earth
belonged to systems of two
or three or many suns.
That epic journey took three years.
We know of a
three-volume history
of the world,
now lost, left from the collision of two
galaxies: three bright stars are seen by
earthlings
only four light hours from Earth.
Well, seven degrees is something like a fiftieth:
had to be about seven degrees, they
intersect at an angle about seven degrees.
By a system of nine planets in
the last ten seconds
it contains some twenty galaxies,
dozens of moons,
around 10:30 PM
on december 31st
beyond M31.
it is about fifty kilometers west,
seventy years later
only eighty light minutes,
or about a hundred times longer than
the old testament chronology.
Two hundred fifty years later, on a
winter's afternoon on
331 B.C. of the full
circumference of 360 degrees,
four hundred years before Eratosthenes,
and for some five hundred
years of our history,
eight hundred Kilometers to the north:
eight hundred kilometers times fifty
he knew it was eight hundred kilometers,
here, more than a thousand years before.
Thousands of asteroids and thousands of
light years
towards the plane the galaxy,
only fifteen hundred light years from
earth
held sway for
fifteen hundred years.
By 1600,
in nineteen twenties,
1976 the rings of Uranus 
were first detected in 1977,
undiscovered unitl 1978, as first revealed by
the Voyager spacecraft in 1979,
two thousand years ago.
Why have I brought you across two thousand
years,
but we had to wait
nearly two thousand years for these
facts to be five thousand kilometers long...
thirty thousand years long...
is forty thousand Kilometers...
uhm, a hundred thousand.
It takes light a hundred thousand years
to travel from one end of the galaxy to
the other so light takes about three
hundred thousand years to go from one
galaxy three hundred thousand light
years apart, a period he took to be
four-hundred-thirty-two thousand years,
nearly one million scrolls.
Millions of light years away,
over a million years,
and each of those million volumes
contained up to a million separate
stars, now only two million light years
from home.
Three million light years across,
each day rapresent
forty million years.
Only fifty million years old during
their first hundred million years their
cores may explode taking us two
hundred million light years
to the local group
once every quarter billion years.
Every month
this is one of the quarter billion years
long: a mere one and a half billion kilometers
and billions of comets,
billions of nuclear furnaces
eight billion light years, from home.
fifteen
billion years of cosmic evolution:
fifteen billion years later
has revealed the universe some fifteen
billion years old,
or we can squander our fifteen million
year heritage
some of them containing
hundreds of billions of suns:
four
hundred billions suns. 
Saturn's majestic rings
are made of trillions of orbiting snowballs
made of a trillion suns:
nearly ten
trillion kilometers, it measures a
hundred trillion times denser than
lead
there are a hundred billion galaxies
and a billion trillion stars...
that's
pretty good figuring for
twenty-two hundred years ago.
