Uni-verses: Write your own space poetry

Create your own space poem, with award-winning poets and scientists who explore the universe and worlds beyond our own.

Space is a constant source of awe-inspiring beauty, fundamental questions and revolutionary discoveries. It is also a vast expanse of extremes which can be hard to comprehend. How can anyone conceptualise the differences in size between a sun, a solar system and a galactic super cluster. How would a human experience the pressure and heat of Venus?
