The life and experiences of a traveling (and occasionally researching) astrophysicist.
The billion-euro Herschel space telescope has been switched off.
Controllers on Monday emptied the satellite’s fuel tanks and commanded the observatory to sever all communications.
Sad news. Still, at least they didn’t decide to crash it into the moon.
Learning takes place through the active behaviour of the student: it is what he does that he learns, not what the teacher does.

My God, it’s full of stars!
Follow Griff, and his graphs. It’s pretty, and pretty awesome!
So this is the first completely original piece I’ve ever put on Tumblr and that’s a bit nerve-wracking but regardless, this is a song inspired by the NBC series Hannibal, lyrics and melody by me. I really hope you enjoy it! xx
THE RAVENSTAG (inspired by “Hannibal”)
blue as night, the ravenstag was flying
as you plucked the hyde, the beast stood crying
was it ever not enough to torment enough, cried out the blood in the veins
of the ravenstag who told me your name
i’ve started dreaming the most peculiar pictures
the blacks and whites and colors are richer
did you feel it kind enough, yes kind enough to plant the seed in my brain
of the ravenstag whispering your name
vulgar fruit, it gleams like vulgar diamonds
a picture of my own designing
wish they’d said beware the signs, the meats and wines of the velvet joy and the pain
of the ravenstag when he calls my name
(bridge, bach aria medley)
come into my parlor says the spider
close my eyes, the space between heartbeats grows wider
maybe i’m not brave enough or sane enough to steady the knife of the gaze
of the ravenstag as it whispers my name
morning’s come and the ravenstag’s behind me
i’m a crimson stain and no wind can dry me
is an enemy enough to keep the love of a monster that swallows and maims
the same ravenstag who knows my name?
Brilliant piece of music
Weddings have become more perilous than battles, it would seem.
