🎨 The best way to see Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is to stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds and then look at the painting. RT when it works for you.

Do you find students are frustrated when no right or wrong? Teachers as learners often are in my experience. #ngsschat

#Arecibo Such a loss. I spent a few weeks there almost 50 years ago during an Intersession course as an undergraduate. Visited briefly in 2013 while in PR for NSTA Congress. AO was a spectacular scientific instrument!! I’m 😢 sad.

Asteroid 2018VP1, a refrigerator-sized space-rock, is hurtling towards us at more than 40,000 km/hr. It may buzz-cut Earth on Nov 2, the day before the Presidential Election. It’s not big enough to cause harm. So if the World ends in 2020, it won’t be the fault of the Universe.
