A skywriter airplane spelling out “Jesus loves you” over a tourist trapped beach
Aliens with good intentions
Aliens with bad intentions
Military satellites
The American flag on the moon

A total eclipse of the moon
A star dying. Then, a new star being born
3 or 4 planets that humans will never touch
Every shade of blue imaginable. Some of them are better than others
A cloud about to storm and ruin a perfectly good wedding
Crows, ravens, ospreys, and hawks
A bumblebee very much out of her element
A pumpkin catapulted by trebuchet as a festive holiday tradition
A trebuchet very much out of her element
A frisbee launched straight up at a company picnic, about to come crashing down on the boss’ head
A billionaire, probably
An experimental military jet
Amelia Earnhardt still circling the Bermuda Triangle
Icarus, just starting out his flight. He’s very optimistic.
Acid rain
Galaxies who would rather prefer not to be discovered by the human race
The planet that was almost named Wolftopia
A nuclear bomb
A nuclear bomb very much out of her element
A news helicopter above a wildfire

A three way helicopter crash
More mosquitos than you can count
Nuggets of hail the circumference of an exceptionally small shih tzu
A comet narrowly missing earth
An international space station, foreclosed and replaced with a Spirit Halloween
A supermassive black hole
A terribly lost sock
A red balloon with a message tied to the string
Less gravity than earth, usually
If you’ve ever had the privilege to lie awake on a remote mountain when the night is cloudless, you know that the sky is infinitely deep and full of color. You fall into the Marianas Trench through crystal clear waters. The sky swirls and sings like Van Gogh told me.
Light pollution
A scream finally screamed
An ill-fated time capsule
A terribly misunderstood time capsule
An accidental declaration of interplanetary war
The horrible wail of vuvuzelaz at a sports game
Someone in an unseen galaxy who would like your taste in music, if they got to know you
A brand new space colony on Mars. Sure, it pays in scrip, but it has free Chipotle! You love Chipotle!
Something that is decidedly not the miracle cure for cancer
A little bit of water in the surrounding planets, here and there
A long crumbled monument on Mars, which Earth’s archeologists are about to discover
A quetzalcoatlus, once
A dodo, before it all went south for them
Prometheus, about to make a huge mistake
An Amazon drone, gaining sentience and getting quite concerned about the state of the world
Someone up there is sipping ginger ale on a flight to Disney World, feeling guilty about not being very excited for the trip
Angels becoming Fallen as a prank, tumbling through the sky
A recently deceased man named Charlie, struggling to climb the long and tiring staircase up to Heaven. The angel tumbling from the sky raises a new and troubling questions, he thinks.
An unpaid intern feverishly knocking at the door of Olympius, because he forgot the pincode for the door
An astronaut who is not internet famous
A caucasian man standing at the top of the world’s tallest mountain, excited to share the news with his youth group
A local guide who also climbed the mountain. Again.
The Moon Rabbit. Or, the Man in the Moon. Or, a woman, a frog, a moose, a buffalo, or a dragon. A God or Goddess or Trickster. Or, lunar pareidolia, but who cares about that?
The stars aligning, then separating again, then aligning again, then separating again
A kid flapping his arms very hard. It’s working.
A very successful paper airplane having the time of his life. His 13 year old creators are very proud.
Someone stuck in a very tall tree
A window washer who tripped
An impossible meteorological event. It appears to be jellyfish-type material.
The first monkey on Mars
The last monkey on Mars
The rings of Saturn. He has a favorite moon, but he’ll never say which. However, he’s very vocal about his least favorite.
And, the Weather
