tadpole
I’ve been looking at this awesome photo all week: That’s the Tadpole Galaxy, a spiral galaxy that got one of its arms ripped off by another galaxy that passed a little too close by. Pretty mind-blowing, isn’t it? But what got me staring at this photo for a whole week was when I realized that… Read.

treat!
About two dozen trick-or-treaters came to the door of Our Humble O’Bode this year, all of them little ones.
