Hey, do you like science?
Because I like science. So I started a science blog.
I don’t normally like telling other people to follow my side blogs, but I know that I have quite a few followers who mostly follow me for the science stuff. There’s not much up there right now, but the goal is to post (relatively) regularly about whatever science-y stuff I feel like talking about and blog about being a science major.
If you don’t want to follow my new blog, not to worry! Science stuff will still appear here. I’ll just post reblogs I find interesting on insomniastrikesagain and more original content will go on the science blog.
——
tl;dr
Stand back. I’m going to try science (blogging).

“Get out. I need to go to my mind palace.”
Can I say that now? Something tells me that might not be so socially acceptable, and since I’m not Sherlock, I wouldn’t be able to get away with saying that.
Darn.

Watching The Crucible
and realizing that I’ve forgotten a lot of the original play.
Whoops…
Four nights a year, the streets of Manhattan’s grid become the site for a spectacular sunset phenomenon known as “Manhattanhenge.” As Director of the Hayden Planetarium Neil deGrasse Tyson, who discovered the phenomenon and coined the term “Manhattanhenge,” explains in his Hayden Planetarium blog, Manhattanhenge takes place “when the setting Sun aligns precisely with the Manhattan street grid, creating a radiant glow of light across Manhattan’s brick and steel canyons, simultaneously illuminating both the north and south sides of every cross street of the borough’s grid. A rare and beautiful sight.”
View Manhattanhenge tonight at 8:17 pm and tomorrow at 8:16 pm. Tweet your photos of the phenomenon @AMNH with the hashtag #Manhattanhenge or email them to comments@amnh.org for a chance to win two tickets to our Manhattanhenge program on July 11.
