Yay for New Horizons giving us a good view of Yuggoth~

"
The day had come again, when as a child
I saw—just once—that hollow of old oaks,
Grey with a ground-mist that enfolds and chokes
The slinking shapes which madness has defiled.
It was the same—an herbage rank and wild
Clings round an altar whose carved sign invokes
That Nameless One to whom a thousand smokes
Rose, aeons gone, from unclean towers up-piled.
I saw the body spread on that dank stone,
And knew those things which feasted were not men;
I knew this strange, grey world was not my own,
But Yuggoth, past the starry voids—and then
The body shrieked at me with a dead cry,
And all too late I knew that it was I!
"
Now the space probe being like: "Gtg and say hi to Azathoth now, lol"

Cool introspective perspective. On another note, I can't wait to see all the images that we'll slowly receive over the next 18 months.

Oh, me too. This tiny flap of space that is our home is already full of surprises, and we saw so little. Oh, how easily we are impressed, we ants under the ungraspable wings of the cosmos~ I love that. Many are overwhelmed from such a gigantic, unknown mechanism, but I find it so peaceful. I hope we can see something amazing soon.
