Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

Scientists discovered a rare deep-sea habitat where hydrothermal vents and cold seeps occur together at Conical Seamount, Papua New Guinea. The unique conditions support highly specialized life – another reminder of how much of the deep ocean remains unknown.

I gripe a little bit about the ambiguity of the word "day" — astronomically speaking, of course — and also present you with a *gorgeous* Hubble shot of a face-spiral galaxy that turns out to be part of the puzzle that tells us how the universe expands.

In the 13.7 billion year history of the universe, you just happen to live in the incredibly brief sliver of time in which bits of that universe congealed into beings who managed to discover that the universe is in fact 13.7 billion years old.

Shingles hurts worse than childbirth. Worse than knee surgery. Worst pain of my life.

We're getting together in Philly to create art. Why? For community & GOOD.
I'll provide all the art supplies you'll need & a little inspiration on what you can create art about.
We hope to create art that inspires action. Art is great at that, even if you think you're bad at it

In celebration of #WorldMaritimeDay, let's remember our first-ever research vessel, Atlantis!
From 1931-1966, Atlantis helped researchers investigate the secrets of the ocean. The legacy continues with today’s R/V Atlantis, the support ship for deep sea sub Alvin!
If anyone has been keen to build their own OpenCTD, we have 5 Rev7 kits back in stock and ready to ship.
