Fire Show Post Script

August 14, 2017 Jerry King Comments 0 Comment

Earth is a clump of iron and magnesium, and nickel, smeared with organic material and sleeved in vapor.  It whirls along in a nearly circular orbit around a minor star we call the sun.  There are enough stars in the universe that if everybody on earth were charged with naming his or her share, we’d each get to name a trillion and a half of them.

–Anthony Dorr
