“She Dwells Frequently Upon The Beauty And The Melancholy Of Nature”

Nearby Star System May Host an Earth-Like Planet

Can eyeballs bounce? Like if you were to scoop someone's eye out and it came out in perfect shape would it bounce if it fell on the floor?

I’m not sure. They can be rubbery, but I’m not sure if the force required to make them bounce wouldn’t also make them go splat.

Maybe some biology/med students know (I don’t deal much with eyeballs as a Chemistry major).

Allow us to reintroduce someone … the name’s Perseverance. 

With this new name, our Mars 2020 rover has now come to life! Chosen by middle school student Alex Mather, Perseverance helps to remind ourselves that no matter what obstacles we face, whether it’s on the way to reaching our goals or on the way to Mars, we will push through. In Alex’s own words, ⁣⁣

“We are a species of explorers, and we will meet many setbacks on the way to Mars. However, we can persevere. We, not as a nation but as humans, will not give up. The human race will always persevere into the future.” ⁣

Welcome to the family.⁣ ❤️

Tell us about your new single ‘Scarlet’

“'Scarlet’ was a combination of many things at the time. The initial idea was easy to get down but completing it and giving it the respect that it deserves was a little more tough, which is possibly the reason it’s my most intricate production to date. For me 'Scarlet’ represents a second wind, a breath of fresh air; the moment you’re reborn and start thinking clearly again.”

The Infrared Universe - NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope

NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope celebrated its 12th anniversary with the release of a new digital calendar showcasing some of the best pictures taken by the telescope. The images above demonstrate the Spitzer space telescope’s amazing infrared imaging abilities. These images include Nebulae, Galaxies, Super Nova, and much more. Though the calendar is now outdated, it still has a lot of great science information (and cool images). Check the credit for links!
