"Loved the chapter dedicated to photographs of distant galaxies, with some galaxies pulling stars away from each other and either colliding or being in the process of merging - looks really trippy! I can tell photographing this was one of the Hubble telescope's main purposes, since Edwin Hubble established one time for all that other galaxies than the Milky Way existed. (which was under dispute until the 1920's)" 1 hour, 22 min ago

"just over 50 pages in but I can already feel I need to read everything twice in order to grasp Marc Chagall's convoluted and chaotic family history, I can however recognise many of the formative events in his life from several of his paintings already" Mar 07, 2026 02:49AM

"Mest interessante digt her indtil videre er "Det samme hvide lys" på s. 129, der indbygger en masse naturvidenskabelig jargon og psykedeliske mentale billeder i den kosmiske mysticisme og udforskning af indre følelsesliv, der kører som rød tråd igennem de fleste af digtene. Her kan man virkelig mærke flere ubeslægtede universer kollidere med hinanden og skabe noget unikt" Mar 07, 2026 02:47AM
