We Almost Missed Astronomy Day!

We almost missed Astronomy Day!

The day has been around since 1973, though public fascination with astronomy goes back much further. This image is from Smith’s Illustrated Astronomy: Designed for the Use of the Public or Common Schools in the United States by Asa Smith, published in 1849. Advances in telescopes in the 1800s and the resulting discoveries helped generate a public interest in astronomy.

Our current exhibition, Fantastic Worlds: Science and Fiction, 1780-1910, includes Smith’s guide in its third section, Infinite Worlds, and goes further into how science made its way into the public imagination at the time. This of course included the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

WHITE URKLE - loving this one! Gives me a quick creative burst that allowed me to record a few guitar jams, and then turned into a nice couch lock after the first half an hour. A very nice hybrid! (leafly)

My version of a “Baker’s Dozen”

Bought 7 grams of 21.3% THC Ghost Train Haze and decided to roll it up with some Juicy Mello Mango papers so I could load my joint case. Using my new sherlock while rolling and watching shows. A good Saturday night! From Leafly:

First bred by Rare Dankness, Ghost Train Haze is a sativa cross between Ghost OG and Neville’s Wreck. Unlike typical sativas, Ghost Train Haze grows dense buds blanketed in white, crystal-capped trichomes. With a sour citrus and floral aroma, Ghost Train Haze delivers a potent dose of THC to knock out pain, depression, and appetite loss, but patients prone to anxiety should steer clear of this heavy-hitter. Low doses are conducive to concentration and creativity, but you may notice some cerebral haziness as you administer more. Ghost Train Haze is a suitable outdoor strain for warm climates and has a 65 to 80 day flowering time indoors.
