The Sunday Wordle with the given words:

conscience,detect,friends,lab,leave,mistake,note,rest,second,sick,together,translate
(could not place the word sick)

The space lab was jubilant
It managed to detect a new planet
Make no mistake, it orbits its own sun
With a chic given name, Fomalhaut

Fomalhaut-b is the new planet named
Surrounding it a Saturn-like ring structure
Comprising brown and gold colors aflamed
Leaving them like friends close together

Translating a conscience long noted
Are yet to reveal from the rest of the galaxy
Likely second planets may still be discovered
Takes time it may seem but still very likely

Written for Brenda's Sunday Whirl Wordle #117 with the given words above and Kerry's hosting at Real Toad's Open Link Monday

    Beautiful photo and it is an excellent partner for your words. Space is a mystery that we humans may never tire of exploring. You have woven the words well.

    So much still could be undiscovered - this planet really may be out there!

    Nice poem, Hank. It brings me memories. (I worked for NASA at the Johnson Manned Spacecraft Center for 14 years as an aerospace engineer in the Flight Control Division.)

    Actually the star and its light has been analized since at least 1943. Later it has been studied intensively from the Space Station.

    BTW, Google (my on-line spell checker) said: "Did you mean: Fomalhaut "

      You're absolutely correct Dr Jim! It's spelled Fomalhaut. I'll have it corrected. Thanks a lot!

    Far, far away in a galaxy unknown. Amazing such discoveries are being made and so vividly seen. Loved how you worked the wordle into describing this new world. Wish they'd named the planet something more romantic or mellifluous.

    What a gorgeous photo and your words make science take on warmth where academia tends to make it so cold for me.

    I wasn't sure at first whether this was conjecture or the truth. So I had to Google it to check. There it was! What a great jobs you did on this.
