OMG I have this placemat and never noticed! Plutoooo <3
My little brother got into outer space and stuff so my step-mom bought him a place mat with all the planets on it. When I first saw it, I was upset, because it was newer and so Pluto wasn’t labeled. I was about to say something when I noticed something…
Pluto is there.
The artist remembered Pluto.
Guys…
The artist drew Pluto crying.

I know I said I was done posting cool photos of the recent annular “ring of fire” eclipse, but this one just found its way to me and I can’t resist. Here’s the story behind the photo.

My confessions -
Childhood trauma, no. Adolescent trauma, yezzz.
Miserable job. Does working on a pig farm count?
Moment of self-discovery. Hasn’t happened yet.
Episode of debauchery. In my case that means dangerous amounts of popcorn.
Pathologic ambition. Yep.
Loyal pet. Several.
Neglected spouse. A couple of those, too.
Personal demons. Thank God for those!
Years of Boring Hard Work. I wouldn’t call it boring, but it sure as hell can be hard. But it beats working on a pig farm.
Actually I suspect you can skip the first 8 if you just do the last one.
Yeah, seriously. I don’t fancy myself a great novelist, but perhaps it is because I don’t have a neglected spouse or a loyal pet.
But just for the record:
Childhood trauma: Limited.
Miserable job: Yes, but who hasn’t had at least one of those?
Moment of Self-Discovery: Not that I recall.
Episode of debauchery: I’m only allowed one?!
Pathologic ambition: Check.
Loyal pet: Nope.
Neglected spouse: I hope not.
Personal demons: Well, sure, but again, who doesn’t?
Years of boring hard work: Yes, although as years of boring hard work go, it beats, like, silver mining. And finance.

Beautiful.
“Water and stone. Flower and bone: home.”
From the terrestrial to the celestial, from the atomic to the tectonic, discovery is all about pursuing light in some way, isn’t it?
NASA has given us many gifts: Knowledge of this planet and many worlds beyond. At a time when many of their missions, and our sense of wonder and inspiration along with them, are in jeopardy … they remind us of how illuminating science can be.
Pursuit of Light is promotion for NASA, but it’s also promotion for thinking big, and embracing that “Ahhh” feeling. Full screen, HD, sound up.
Share it with someone you love, and stay curious.
