Cosmos

you know what is so unbelievable befuddling that it's such a wonder to me?

how everything around us, EVERYTHING - from the lint in your belly button to the material of your mailbox - comes from the evolution of space and time. our galaxy, or our whole world, rather, was said to be created when there was a massive explosion, interspersed with many collisions and 'fusions'. everything on our blue marble of a planet originated from somewhere in space. EVERYTHING.

has anyone ever thought of that? we have almost anything at our disposal. and absolutely every bit of matter we have here came from some 10 billion to 20 billion years ago.

i had a revelation i just had to share. so... yeah. haha. it was a childhood dream to be some sort of a space person. you know, work in NASA or something. haha. positively addictive, this cosmic stuff.

oh another interesting fact i got from a book: did you know that Io, one of Jupiter's four moons, has so much volcanic activity (endless, really) on it that it's turning itself inside out at a rate of 1cm every 3000 years?

more space trivia next time!

like omg right i know. but i like.
