We almost missed Astronomy Day! 

The day has been around since 1973, though public fascination with astronomy goes back much further. This image is from Smith’s Illustrated Astronomy: Designed for the Use of the Public or Common Schools in the United States by Asa Smith, published in 1849. Advances in telescopes in the 1800s and the resulting discoveries helped generate a public interest in astronomy.

Our current exhibition, Fantastic Worlds: Science and Fiction, 1780-1910, includes Smith’s guide in its third section, Infinite Worlds, and goes further into how science made its way into the public imagination at the time. This of course included the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

A Drop in the Ocean – Saerafina
A tasertricks fanfic recommendation.

He couldn’t say which was the stronger emotion inside him: intense
anger at how she so effortlessly provoked him yet never rose to his bait, or an
inappropriate attraction. He had spent his life learning how to unravel the
secrets of others, finding new ways of unsettling them, frightening them and
making them bow to whatever he demanded of them.

He couldn’t do that with her. Somehow, she saw through it,
or simply ignored it, and she continued to feel, so strongly the same
suffocating warmth came over him once again.

It felt as though slowly, she was trying to rob him of his
hatred, rob him of his loneliness and pain. It was ridiculous. It was
untenable.

She was reminding him why he wanted to live.
