Since Her Death In 1979, The Woman Who Discovered What The Universe Is Made Of Has Not So Much As Received

Since her death in 1979, the woman who discovered what the universe is made of has not so much as received a memorial plaque. Her newspaper obituaries do not mention her greatest discovery. […] Every high school student knows that Isaac Newton discovered gravity, that Charles Darwin discovered evolution, and that Albert Einstein discovered the relativity of time. But when it comes to the composition of our universe, the textbooks simply say that the most abundant atom in the universe is hydrogen. And no one ever wonders how we know.

Jeremy Knowles, discussing the complete lack of recognition Cecilia Payne gets, even today, for her revolutionary discovery. (via alliterate)

Old Man of the Lake

The Old Man of the Lake is the name given to a 30-foot (9.1 m) tall tree stump, most likely a hemlock, which has been bobbing vertically in Oregon’s Crater Lake since at least 1896. The exposed end of the floating tree is splintered and worn but wide and buoyant enough to support a person’s weight.

Fontinalis, a moss that is present in the waters of Crater Lake at a depth of 394 feet (120 m), also grows on the Old Man of the Lake, the only place the moss is found near the surface.

The MOST HILARIOUS moment of the entire episode!

That awkward moment when Tina bursts into tears but continues to sing infront of the Glee club, gasping for air and falling to her knees
