Albert Einstein died on this day, April 18, 1955.

It is incredible to hear Albert Einstein explain his famous formula, E=mc².

Wow, what an accurate take on our current situation! Thank you for this perspective!

Thank you! I have the same feelings when in nature and when staring at the night sky! The feeling of my own insignificance can be both overwhelming and calming. And, after all, if I am insignificant, so are they.

When everything gets overwhelming, I make a point to seek out the natural world.

The trees and mountains stand witness to the fact that every despot and petty tyrant is nothing to the grandness of it all.

It truly is healing to me.

Social Security has worked well for decades. Republicans saw it as a money pot that they could take over. They call it an “entitlement” when it isn't one. So they have to wreck it so they can peel away our money and make it look like they're fixing it. It wasn't broken. They're breaking it now.

This is a stunning example of an Einstein ring.

The bright, diffuse galaxy in the centre is closer to us—and it's so massive, it's bending spacetime itself, turning light from a far more distant galaxy behind it into a ring.

It's bending the very fabric of the Universe.

Allow me to introduce myself on here! I'm a planetary scientist/astronomer at the University of Reading (UK), researching Jupiter & Saturn. I've worked at JAXA, NASA, Boston Uni and Uni of Leicester. On the side, I create space animations to share the wonders of our corner of the universe, such as:

The planets orbit the Sun at different speeds, with the inner planets moving the fastest—they need to, to resist being pulled in by the Sun's gravity.

Here's a side-by-side comparison (race?) of their velocities!
