Aboard, the years pass gently, one ordinary life at a time, while outside, the clocks of the universe begin to race. Far behind, a familiar star swells and fades. Ahead, whole galaxies redden like embers, and one small new light flickers into being for a single long night. What would the children born on that ship see by the time they were grown?
