about
NPR's RadioLab show did an episode on what constitutes the edge of the solar system. When are we no longer 'home'? I imagine it would have to be a terrifying feeling to be leaving the solar system, especially if there were no prospect of returning
lyrics
40,000 miles an hour, and slowly, inch by inch
Inexorably speeding on our course for outer space
We monitor the solar winds grown ragged now and faint
And gravity, that fading, futile force, all but escaped
Never has a person come this far
No turning back, the booster’s long since gone
And when you get to hear this across the wastes of time
At the solar system’s last extent, we’ll be entering the void
Saturn’s rings and Neptune’s moons, those once majestic friends
Reveal themselves as distant specks upon the camera lens
That pale blue dot, I think, must be the earth
In endless night, the planet of my birth
If you get to hear this across the wastes of time
Sitting at your console, or sipping at your wine
Yes, any day the readings say we will have passed beyond
The solar system’s last extent, we’ll be entering the void
What became of the sun’s heat in August, the smell of urine on a Sunday morning
And you, you, my love, sunburned and annoyed
If you ever hear this across the wastes of time
Sitting at your console, or sipping at your wine
Yes, any day the readings say we will have passed beyond
The solar system’s last extent
We’re at the brink, transmission sent, we’re entering the void
