Some thoughts
We slip through space up near the stars:
- constellations in a sort of dome over the earth
- breaking through the atmosphere through a cluster of satellites in silhouette
- going through the aurora borealis
Like a roller coaster/ we dive and we dip:
- Like the Odyssey; navigate through dangers in space: black holes, meteorites, asteroids, old satellites
- trails from the rocket
With a snip of a cloud:
- they burst through the cloud cover? Literally "snipping" clouds

A Trip to the Moon
Current brief:
Based on the story/ poem we chose, create a series of illustrations suitable for children's books. Most of them are of a scientific bent, therefore informative and accurate images are preferred.
Current thoughts:
However, with "A Trip to the Moon", the lines are far more lyrical and poetic as compared to the rest, and I feel it would be more interesting to find the scientific significance in the text. (The author mentioned how one of the things to look out for was how far the stars are from everything?) Thinking of playing with the word "starboard", in context with the ship mentioned in the text and also the stars. Either way, this will be interesting. *cracks knuckles*
