The Average Colour of the Universe
This color has become much less blue over the past 10 billion years, indicating that redder stars are becoming more prevalent. In a contest to better name the color, notable entries included skyvory, univeige, and the winner: cosmic latte.
So there you have it. Cosmic latte. I’ll have one, please.

We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.

It made me think of what Tom Taylor did with some NASA data on Near Earth Objects. He took this data and hooked it to a Twitter feed so that every time a rock passes near earth a Tweet is sent. Imagine if regular data was kept on meteorite Earth impacts? Every time a space rock knocks into the Earth a tweet would be sent with the location (longitude and latitude) and time of impact. You could plug that info into your GPS device and be the first on the scene when a giant robot emerges from a smoldering crater to annihilate the the world with his ray gun. Now wouldn’t that be the ultimate first?
