    About this ebook

    In an interplanetary system there is an empire formed of worlds inhabited by by alien beings with decidedly original characteristics: flying creatures that never settle, attracted by the depths of the sea.; a species that moves at ultra-high speed; creatures convinced they are the only one of their kind, alone in the world they inhabit; species whose senses are limited exclusively to touch; beings amazingly similar to Earth people; trees with very highly developed intelligence. Science fiction? Falco tells us that “these are stories with a specially built-in mechanism to help us dream, learning in this way to guide our dreams. We only need to read them before going to sleep”. And in any case, they remind us that the Earth is a just small planet on the very edge of a galaxy..

      The Peoples of the Galaxy - Falco Tarassaco

      Kleinheinz)

      INTRODUCTION

      The Hubble telescope

      In March 2016, the Hubble Space Telescope pushed back the limits of time: these are the exact words used by the media to describe the photographs taken by the telescope sent by NASA and the European Space Agency into low Earth orbit.

      Hubble had photographed deep space and passed on valuable information to astronomers, who were then able to calculate that a newly discovered galaxy, called GN-Z11, was almost 13.5 billion light years from our planet.

      In practical terms, the space telescope and the astronomers had taken a look back in time and space, when the universe, as we know it today, was only 400 million years old.

      The light spectrum took everyone by surprise, since the luminous formation indicated a very early stage of creation. Until only a short time before, scientists had never even considered such a possibility simply because it was not part of known theories.

      The new galaxy with a robot‘s name is 25 times smaller than the Milky Way, with only 1% of its mass consisting of stars, but is growing rapidly as revealed by its high luminosity.

      The space telescope is soon to make way for a big brother – the James Webb telescope, named after the North American astronomer – destined for probably even greater achievements. It is in fact ready to make history by scrutinizing objects close to the Big Bang.

      Such news causes mere surprise at most – while less than twenty years ago it would have been branded by scientists as pure fiction, way beyond even theoretical consideration.

      It is interesting to note that these data obtained by Hubble are rekindling interest in the stories that Falco Tarassaco (Oberto Airaudi) had particular pleasure in writing. Were his writings pure fantasy, a foretaste of future explorations, philosophical speculations on the diversity of species, or a temporal leap resulting from ancient knowledge?

      A booklet dating from 1997

      The Peoples of the Galaxy is a short piece written in 1997 comprising an even shorter introduction and six examples of intelligent galactic technological species, far removed from human logic and at the same time useful in evoking a sea of reflections.

      The Flying Children of the Sea, Scribo Ergo Sum, Touch Me, Touch Me, The World of Noe, The High-Speed People and The World of Thinking Woods are a selection of tales to remind us that the Earth is just a small planet on the extreme edge of a galaxy. Today Hubble itself seems to open up a different perspective on our reading of these short
