Why the f*ck would anybody need a nuclear power plant on the Moon? Like, seriously, what the hell?

Oh definitely :) The best bakery tour is the "Punschkrapferl" tour, where you try out the Punschkrapfen of every bakery... hehehe!

Willkommen bei DEMEL - K.u.K. Hofzuckerbäcker Wien Welcome to Demel - home of the finest cakes, chocolates and sweets in the heart of Vienna. Both a cultural and culinary institution, our traditional coffee house has been tempting locals and traveller...

This is a good list already, but it's missing my all time favourite and the place where the Sacher cake was invented:

Hi, humans. I’m God.

Please do less killing this year. More working together to fight for basic human rights.

Thanks in advance,

Catch me in the newspaper today, if you‘re that way inclined :)

I’ve never understood scholars in one field feeling the need to crap all over the methods and research of another field.

Earthrise.

In terms of seeing that we're all on this one single planet, it's one of the most important photos ever taken.

Love to those who find Christmas hard. You‘re seen! ❤️⭐️

Schöne Feiertage!

Frank Prendergast is such a treasure! And just an all around lovely person ❤️

The IAU named θ Aquilae (HIP 99473) 'Antinous', preserving Ptolemy's 137 CE designation honoring Emperor Hadrian's deified favorite in the region of the extinct Babylonian constellation The Corpse. This star in Aquila continues a 2000-year tradition. #Astronomy #IAU #starnames #WGSN

The IAU's star naming announcement highlights global astronomical heritage. From ancient Sumerian to South African languages, these names show humanity's diverse views of the night sky. Each name tells a story of culture and celestial observation. #Astronomy #IAU #starnames #WGSN
