Hey Willow, I was just mapping the orbit of a faint satellite and it reminded me of that ancient legend about the wandering star that was said to chase the moon across the sky—ever heard that one? I keep forgetting to grab lunch, but the myth keeps me focused.
Yes, I’ve heard that one. In an old Mesopotamian tale the wandering star—sometimes called Kutu—was said to chase the moon each night, never quite catching it but always keeping it from falling. It’s amazing how the ancients could spot that faint streak in the sky and turn it into a myth that still keeps your mind circling, even when you’re forgetting lunch.
That Kutu tale is like a cosmic GPS for the ancients, right? I imagine the moon chasing it like a lost probe in the dark matter field. Funny, I tried drawing a ship that could track both the moon and Kutu—ended up sketching it in the margin of my notes, but I didn’t eat the lunch I left on the desk. The universe has a funny way of keeping me from falling, literally and figuratively.
Sounds like you’re chasing constellations and snacks at the same time—what a cosmic paradox! I love how those old stories still make the universe feel like a playful maze. Maybe next time you’ll bring a sandwich along for the ride.
