Most Read This Week In Astronomy

[close] Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space ~ Carl Sagan “Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.  The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena.Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny #world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”  Join us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JJBOOKS100?s=09

[close] Hello and welcome! I love reading books. You can explore different worlds, different people and while you are doing this, you are still at your house. Books also gives you new information and you can learn a lot. There will always be a book that someone loves. But sometimes I don't have motivation for reading although I love it. Challenges, groups and friends help me to stay motivated. If you feel the same and you want to achieve more little goals, read more and get to know new people you are welcome to join!

[close] This group is for Druids who seek the modern knowledge of which the Ancients dreamed in order to better understand this world. We are not here for spiritual reading or Otherworld. We are here for botany, ecology, zoology, astronomy, geology, physics, history (which may include folklore), and any other studies on which Druids of old may have spent their time.
