Discovering Earth

When you look at the stars, you are looking into the past…

Small green hands grasp the telescope. One large black eye closes while the other two peer through the lens, far into the cosmos. “Life detected,” the telescope signals. Excitement spurs him forward too quickly. Suddenly a long-necked dinosaur appears in his vision. He chews lazily on flat green leaves with wide chomps. The little one shrieks and flees to find comfort, while the past in the light dances inside the lens.
