Sputnik was the first artificial Earth satellite, launched by the Soviet Union in 1957, marking the beginning of the space age.
A tiny bright sphere took its flight,
and Sputnik gave nations a fright.
Up high it would glide,
shocking all worldwide—
and the space age began overnight.

Collection of space and astronomy text books on darkened shelf
Dusty pages, silent halls,
Voices echo through the walls.
To know the now, we must look back,
Along the faded, winding track.
History is a mirror to be held,
To show us how the future’s spelled.
We read the lines of yesterday,
To light the dark along our way.
