Description
I recently viewed the stunning photos taken by the Hubble telescope celebrating twenty-five years in orbit around our planet.
A short time later I read an article about the discovery of ancient DNA precursors found in interstellar clouds that predate the birth of our solar system. “During the past decade, astrochemists have found that DNA molecules, the fundamental building blocks of life, find their origins not on Earth, but in the Cosmos.”
These two events inspired me to visually imagine an interstellar cloud swirling in the vastness of outer space, with strands of DNA combining and separating endlessly and perhaps spreading the seeds of alien life to unknown planets.
