BREAKING: Protests in Albania are escalating, with demonstrators now calling for the resignation of the entire government amid growing anger over the proposed Kushner-Ivanka Trump development project.
What began as opposition to a luxury development is rapidly turning into a broader political crisis.
i’ve been so fascinated by the voyager mission story since i was a kid. there’s just something existentially moving about a spacecraft built all the way back in the 70s still functioning far beyond its original mission, carrying so many of our deepest human curiosities into the unknown.
voyager 1 was launched in 1977 and has been traveling nonstop for nearly five decades at roughly 17 km per second. it crossed the heliopause (where our solar system ends) back in 2012 and now drifts through interstellar space, more than 15.8 billion miles from our planet.
endlessly moving through the vastness of space, carrying our signal, our sounds and a small mark of our civilisation. drifting eternally with the quiet possibility of hopefully one day bumping into something or someone out there.
i think that's just so beautifully haunting to think about.
need to become a tour guide i’ve just realized it’s the only job i can think of that combines my loves of walking around and knowing more than everyone around me
