The beginning is always a very good place to start, unless you're me and find being pointlessly odd to confuse people amusing.
Thus today, the first post ever official post of i365, will be inspired by the end. Well... sorta. Yesterday was the first planetarium visit for me in years and the shows sparked several debates between my friends and I over the meaning of life and reality, as you do. Of course, this was overshadowed by the fact that Han Solo was regaling us with facts about the search for life on other planets (followed by giggles and nudges when 'A long time ago...' made an unexpected appearance) and Captain Barbossa explained the nitty gritty of black holes. Including the Supermassive Black Hole (cue MUSE).
Supermassive Black Holes lurk at the heart of almost every large galaxy in the universe, and can hold up to a billion times the mass of the sun compressed inside it, active ones sucking materials from their host galaxies inwards using scientific terms like 'accretion disk', 'event horizon' and 'spaghettification'. wow. awesome right? now when I hear Matt Bellamy crooning about 'the superstars sucked into the supermassive' I'll actually understand what he means.
Speaking of Matt Bellamy in his weird, conspiracy theorist awesomeness. MUSE finally announced that they're coming to town. Six months away, and yet we fangirls and -boys are already getting psyched up for the arrival. Here's to hoping they're as awesome as I remember them.
