In the wake of the newly-released Laniakea paper I was inspired. 😀
Humbled and in awe
Just from the images he sawOf the pearls of light
Making way through the dark and voidA sign, though abstract
Reminding him to not detractThose mindful can tell
الله أعلى و أجل
NASA has put together awesome pictures of Earth from opposing sides of our solar system shot from Saturn (by Cassini) and from Mercury (by MESSENGER).
Neil deGrasse Tyson is discussing his book “The Pluto Files” … basically recounting a few thousand years of finding things in the night sky, naming them and building an understanding of what they are … case in point: (now dwarf planet 😉 ) Pluto … including his hypothesis on why Americans in particular get so worked up about Pluto not being a planet any more. 😀
