I don’t know who made this pic but a friend of mine sent it to me one day. It took me a long time to figure out how to cross my eyes and see things in perspective but I managed to do it in the end and the result was spectacular … 🙂

“People believe they can simply go to Mars, pull out some inflatable greenhouses and start living there in happiness and plenty of oxygen… well, I don’t really think it works like that!”
There is a Milky Way Kiwi at the heart of all of us!
A MILKY WAY KIWI IS SOMEONE WHO SHOWS UP TO LIVE IN THE FUTURE. A BIT WILD, VERY CURIOUS, A MILKY WAY KIWI CHOOSES LIFE AND CARES ABOUT IT. IT KNOWS THAT HE OR SHE IS MADE OF STARDUST. AND BECAUSE OF THAT EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE IN LIFE. WE ARE BEAUTIFUL, BRIGHT AND ETERNAL, JUST LIKE THE STARS.
Finding directions from the stars has never been easier. In the modern times, everyone has a phone app. However, there are some old tricks just
I could never quite grasp November, never understood the point of it being there. Feeling too cold and too hot in the same time… my senses definitely refused to multitask. Then, eons later when I discovered Wellington with its famous five seasons in one day: spring, summer, autumn, winter and Monsoon, November felt less incomprehensible.
Today at 2:31 PM NZST all Wellingtonians stopped working and instead, instantly occupied the space “under the tables for all the wrong reasons”. Immediately after that, in a perfect orchestration, everyone vacated their working places! Wellington’s CBD suddenly become alive as people started their silent march down the hill – since nobody could talk on the phone due to the network overload! Why down the hill nobody knows but fact is that the entire working force of Wellington acted in solidarity, for once, today, in a new type of strike … the strike slip!!
Oh stone
you that are forever and

sieve of time
like the grains of
sand squeezing their way
inside the hourglass…
no way out till it’s broken…

Life needs CHNOPS, the six essential elements Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, and Sulphur. Curiosity found them on ancient Mars, but a new study shows Earth was born without them. Only a lucky impact with Theia made our world habitable. In contrast, Venus never stood a chance. Meet the three planetary siblings and discover why only Earth became a cradle for life.
Mars’s mantle contains ancient fragments up to 4km wide from its formation—preserved like geological fossils from the planet’s violent early history.
Cosmic rays are hitting the atmosphere constantly. One of the products of the collisions is muons, and we can detect muons on the surface of the Earth to learn about the cosmic rays.
