There’s a biological reason why we can’t resist puppy dog eyes. Sustained eye contact significantly raises oxytocin levels in both humans and dogs, which encourages love, trust, and bonding. This response isn’t even found in hand- raised wolves, which suggests humans and dogs may have co-evolved to share this trait in order to be companions. Source Source 2 Source 3

The Orion Nebula and The Running Man 

 Last night I was able to finally resolve some issues I’ve been having with my new CCD and get a decent image comprised of Luminance and RGB color channels shot through a filter wheel.

According to his biographer, 24-year-old Abraham Lincoln had to settle a financial dispute by betting a gambler he could lift a barrel of whiskey off the floor and hold it while taking a ‘drink out of the bunghole.’ If he lost, the gambler got a fur hat; if he won, the gambler got nothing.

“Super Moon” November 14, 2016

Paris syndrome is a mental disorder experienced mostly by Japanese tourists who are disappointed when they visit the city for the first time. The shock of Paris not living up to their expectations can cause depression, sweating, anxiety, dizziness, hallucinations and delusions of persecution. The Japanese Embassy in Paris has a 24-hour hotline for those needing help, and up to 20 tourists a year are hospitalized. The usual treatment for Paris syndrome is ‘to go home.’ Source Source 2 Source 3
