  • Sometimes it’s a mystery - what makes good light? What makes light that excites or calms people, or just makes them pause. 
What is it about a bundle of cheap incandescent christmas lights that freezes people? We’ve all seen them a million times before, and yet, each time we’re captivated.

  • “Currently a faint speck in the night sky, Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) was only recently discovered. But as it emerges from the haze of the distant Oort Cloud and makes a close pass around our sun late next year, it could turn into the brightest comet anyone alive has ever seen, reports Sky & Telescope. During its closest approach to the Earth, in the weeks leading up to Christmas 2013, it could even be as bright as the full moon.”
    — Mark your calendar for Christmas 2013…the most amazing comet, possibly as bright as a full moon is scheduled to pass by.
