Here is the freebie for the ![[community profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png) crowdfunding Creative Jam, prompted by alexseanchai. It also fills the "curiosity" square in my 5-1-16 card for the Solo Celebration Bingo fest. "Goldilocks and the Three Planets"Once upon a time, there was a little girl with short blonde curls who wanted to explore space. So Goldilocks got into her spaceship, and she traveled a long, long way in search of planets to explore. The first planet she found was too hot!It snuggled up right next to its sun, and even the rocks melted. The next planet she found was too cold!It was far, far away from its sun, and even the air was frozen. So Goldilocks went home to her library. She turned on her computer and took out her books and studied. She read all about stars and planets and something called physics. Then next time Goldilocks went exploring in her spaceship, she looked for suns with planets that were not too close and not too far. These were much better planets. Some were a little warm, or a little cold, so she kept looking for more middle ones. Soon Goldilocks found a planet that was just right!It was not too hot or too cold, too big or too small, and it had soft soil for growing yummy things. Goldilocks got out of her starship and put up a habitat dome and began to plant a garden. She was very happy in her new home, and people began to say that such planets were in "The Goldilocks Zone." And she's still there!Eventually the aliens came home, but that's another story. * * * Notes:" Goldilocks and the Three Bears" is a fairytale about boundaries and moderation. Read a version online, or enjoy a video. " The Goldilocks Zone" is the area of space around a star where planets are likely to have liquid water on the surface, and therefore may be habitable for life as we know it. (Life not as we know it may prefer other environments.)

This poem is from the May 2, 2017 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired and sponsored by janetmiles. It also fills the "Cosmic Cobalt" square in my 4-1-17 card for the Month of Rainbows fest. "Celestial Dehiscence"The last of the sun's children forms so far out on the fringe that there is no keeping her: she flies away into the endless night. The sun thinks of the life inside her secreted in small green seeds that may someday, in a better space, find the resources to sprout into festoons of cells. The rogue planet goes her own way, a pod of celestial dehiscence, and the sun smiles. * * * Notes:In botany, dehiscence refers to a method of seed dispersion where the seed pod splits open to release the seeds, or in some cases, catapult them a considerable distance. Panspermia is a theory which posits that life can be transferred from one solar system to another, therefore meaning the galaxy does not have to reinvent the wheel every time. The fact that we've found algae growing on the outside of the International Space Station lends weight to this possibility.
