Cosmic Latte – 19th September 2025

Perhaps we English were on to something,

dressed in the average colour of the universe;

A warm beige across every stage

to which I became adverse.

A fun little ditty about something that was pointed out to me by Bronwyn (an Australian) back in the 90s, that the English dress very dully in greys and browns.

This came to mind when reading this little factoid today: When astronomers combined the light of billions of galaxies, they found the average colour of the universe to be a warm beige, whimsically dubbed “Cosmic Latte.”
