There was a time when the Moon looked much bigger than the Sun in our sky. There will be a time when it looks smaller, making total eclipses impossible. We just happen to live during the strange window in between.

Predator isn’t the best sci-fi movie ever. It’s the best movie ever.

This November, Voyager 1 will reach a light-day from Earth. From that distance, our world (the pale blue dot) will appear as it was yesterday and over time, drift further into the past.

When attention locks onto something, the rest of the world quietly disappears. Even gravity, apparently.

Your brain is slightly radioactive and always has been. Neurons rely on potassium to fire signals and a tiny fraction of it (potassium‑40) is naturally radioactive. Thinking happens in a radioactive environment. 🧠☢️

Storytelling existed long before print anyway. Audiobooks are closer to how tales were originally told.
I don’t care whether audiobooks count as reading I’m getting told a story not competing in a reading contest

Did you know the first Christmas trees were decorated with apples, not ornaments? 🎄 Funny how traditions evolve. Hope your day is filled with good ones, old or new. Merry Christmas 🤍

Supermarkets right now feel less like shops and more like competitive contact sports.

It takes the Sun 225–250 million years to orbit the Milky Way’s centre. A Galactic Year. Travelling at 515,000 mph, we’ve only made about 20 laps in the Sun’s 4.6 billion year history. The last time we were in this spot, dinosaurs were just appearing! 🦖✨

Is inspiration louder at night, or are we just finally listening?
