While I try to keep my blog posts focusing on travel and photography topics, I sometimes come across an article that just causes me to stop and go - woo. Such an opinion piece appeared in this past Sunday's New York Times. Brian Green's article is about the expanding universe - the speed in which its expanding (possibly faster than the speed of light!) - and how at some time in the future, most stars in the night sky will disappear from Earth's view. And not because they are being extinguished - just that they are moving outward over time in an ever expanding (so far) universe. A think piece that still almost triggers the "reboot" button in my brain. I highly recommend reading it - followed by a Tylenol!
