"Connecting Cord"
In December of 1998 Christine Hemp’s poem "Connecting Cord" was transferred to foil and loaded into the satellite observatory, SWAS (Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite) sent to record the birth of stars. Infrared astronomer at Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Gary Melnick, was the lead investigator of the NASA project. The launch took place at Vandenburg Air force Base on December 5th and now SWAS is sending back data that sheds light on the pre-natal activity of stars.
Read Hemp's poem called "Connecting Cord".
Since that day over ten years ago, the poem has traveled over 1.7 billion miles -- about 19 times the distance between Earth and the Sun.
