BTS album Arirang is best enjoyed with earphones. Specially No.29

🚨: After 48 years of travel, NASA 's Voyager 1 is nearing one light-day from Earth, almost 16 billion miles away. A proud milestone for humanity, and a humbling reminder of how small we are in an infinite universe.

The thing that wrecks me about this is the spacecraft passed Pluto at 50 thousand km per hour which means the window to capture this shot was insanely narrow after nearly a decade of travel through empty space 11000 foot mountains made of water ice sitting next to flat plains of frozen nitrogen and the whole surface is geologically active which nobody expected because every textbook said Pluto was a dead frozen rock at the edge of nowhere We built something that traveled 3 billion miles on math and thrust and hope and it delivered one of the most humbling images in human history Nine years of silence then one afternoon in July 2015 the data started coming back and everything we thought we knew got rewritten

🪐 Those mountains are made of water ice and stand 3,500 meters tall comparable to the Rocky Mountains. On a world where the surface temperature is minus 229°C. Nobody expected this. Before New Horizons arrived in 2015 Pluto was assumed to be geologically dead a frozen relic with no internal heat source capable of driving mountain formation. The ice mountains, the heart shaped nitrogen plain, the possible subsurface ocean none of it matched the predictions. Pluto rewrote its own textbook in the 24 hours New Horizons flew past it. New Horizons had exactly one chance. No orbit insertion, no second pass. 9 years of travel for a flyby that lasted less than a day. Everything in that image was captured at 50,000 km/h with no opportunity to go back for a second look. We have visited Pluto exactly once. That single photograph is everything humanity has ever seen of it up close.

After traveling 9 years and covering 3 billion miles, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft got this shot. Behold! The icy mountains of Pluto.

Cinemas are closing. And one of the biggest reason is that a whole lot of people now prefer watching movies on their phones. In public, without earphones, and with volume cranked up real loud.

The thing about surrounding oneself only with people whom we agree with or flatter us is that we lose touch while buying into our own press releases. We forget the lesson story of The Emperor With No Clothes taught us.

Been seeing Fast and the Furious posts on my feed. Got me thinking, I liked the first one and Tokyo Drift best. The next few ones were entertaining and the last few ones, I just wasn’t the target market.

Me today.

The first known use of ‘conspiracy theory’ was in 1863…or so they want you to believe.

Sounds mean but back in the day, it was just the people around us who knew we weren’t the sharpest tool in the shed. Nowadays, the internet exposes us to a whole lot more.

IG has changed. For me, at least. Layout and other stuff. I mean, it seems such a chore now to even try to check posts of those I follow.

Stories going around about Michelin starred restos. Congratulations to those who earned a star or two. Anyone else expect “di ko gets. Di naman masarap. Para san yung Michelin star?” posts?
