Symphony of Science

Here is a video of a collection of scientists that a musician has auto-tuned into a song. Carl Sagan, Neil deGrasses Tyson, Richard Feynman, and Bill Nye all make appearances and the result is brilliant!

It is somewhat daunting to think of how infinitely tiny we are compared with the Universe, and yet at the same time, I think one of the most beautiful conclusions that human beings have reached. For me, there is no more reassuring feeling in the world that we are connected with the cosmos and all that is within it.

Here are some pictures of the Full Moon from Tuesday evening. The circular areas are from meteor impacts and the darker areas were formed when lunar volcanic activity cooled and formed basaltic plains on the Moon's surface. You can see all of these with a decent pair of binoculars and an area that doesn't have a lot of electric lights around.
