The death of a star. La muerte de una estrella


“And after that the melodye herde he
That cometh of thilke speres thryes three,
That welle is of musyke and melodye
In this world heer, and cause of armonye.”

Geoffrey Chaucer. From ¨Astronomical Lore in Chaucer¨. By Florence M. Grimm. Lincoln, EEUU, 1919

Galaxy 2. Galaxia 2


¨Night is illimitable. Why is the world made thus? We do not know. In the midst of this darkness there are lights; what is the purpose of these lights? They utter the unspeakable. They illumine the invisible. They enlighten, for they resemble torches; they gaze on something, for they resemble the eye of man. They are terrible and charming. They are faint lights scattered through the unknown. We call them stars.¨
Victor Hugo: Postscriptum de ma vie (Victor Hugo´s Intellectual Biography)
