The astronomer had of course realized the presence of the swift which followed him everywhere. Even though he liked Anselmo, he has not easily distracted from his thoughts. The problem is htat the astronomers had discovered strange, never-before-known events taking place in the sky. They where like FIREWORKS! Yes, violent explosions were taking place here and there within the universe. That was the problem - HERE and THERE! No one knews where an explosion could take place next! So how could astronomers study it? They did not know where to look, and the explosions were so sudden! How could they discover the cause of explosions? What happened after these fireworks?

One day, the man got back home earlier than usual. The swift realizedat once that his astronomer looked tired. Poor Anselmo would have liked to help his friend, but what he could do? The swift watched the astronomer’s movements very carefully. The man let himself into the cottage, and went out again immediately with his fishing-pole. He walked towards the pond and sat down in the shadow of a tree near the shore. While waiting for a fish to take the bait, he thoughtfully looked at the sky - not the sky he normally watched through his telescope, but the sky underneath the clouds.

He saw his faithful swift was performing incredibles acrobatics, to catch the insects flying over the pond surface. OOps! Anselmo caught a mosquito in-flight, and then saw a beetle at the other end of the pond! The swift changed his direction all of a sudden, with an amazing accuracy.

He pounced upon that tasty insect on a SWOOPING FLIGHT. While watching the swift’s acrobatics, the speed at wich he changed direction and how he caught his prey, the astronomer suddenly knew what to do! Here was the solution to his problem, in the wonderful sky above his head! Now he knew what he and his team of scientists had to do. They woud build a wonderful satellite which, just like the swift catching the mosquito, would readily and quickly catch the unexplained explosions, with space flights and acrobatics just like his faithful bird! In the following days, Anselmo realized that the man had a different look... less thoughtful, and happier. He went out jogging and came back late, but with a self-confident air, despite how tired he was.

Finally, one day, peeping into the window of his study, the swift discovered something which made him proud: the man and his collegues had planned a wonderful machine inspired by Anselmo’s own acrobatics, and had called it SWIFT after him. The space-ship named in his honor would fly up above, to a place where Anselmo could not fly, to discover the unseen wonders of the Universe.
