Today's reflection has to do with the many references to "heavenly music" and the "music of the spheres" in the works of Shakespeare. Late the other night, I happened upon a BBC World Service report about the Kepler space telescope and its recent discovery of some 1200 new planets/planet-like structures. The end of the report provided a real treat: the sound of a heartbeat of a star! I'd never heard anything like it. Wish I could have found the exact recording, but this clip (and some of the others available) should do it justice. Sounds like Holst out there! Pythagoras is beaming....
