DAY #34 - BY JUPITER! The Last Planet is Open!

WHAT!?  Yes, it is true.  The doors to Jupiter have swung open (metaphorically).

The entry point is a huge maze that covers an area of some 60 meters.  Inside it you can discover different bits and symbols from the other six planets, which can be fun.  Your objective, however, is to find The Stair of the Gods, and climb it.  It is treacherous, so step with care!  At the top you will find a party!  That's right, Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity, has food and dance waiting for you in his Grand Olympian Ballroom.

Before Jupiter even opened, Mags took a swing at a planetary poem that is a great way to welcome the Giant of the Gods into our stellar system on LEA 4.

Jupiter

A planetary poem

by MeteorMags

you make me laugh until we tumble

into this drift like asteroids

coaxed by gravity

to surround this jovial hydrogen bastard

who disturbs the belt with his frivolities

and storms

laughter heals and lifts us past the pain

your tears on my shoulder and fictions

we dream together

love me for an hour then leave

traces of your orbit and clues you give

astronomers

to the sadness of the inner planets

where life only makes them realize

they’re small

i will never let them touch you

with telescopes and equations

I will erase their blackboards and crush their lenses

until all they know is mystery like a fool

i would keep you to myself

though your brightness burns for everyone

annihilation comes easily

rejuvenation takes more effort

or none at all

one word

one touch

will inspire
