3 years ago MIT grad student Katie Bouman led the creation of a new algorithm to produce the first-ever image of a black hole. 

Today (first time ever) that image of a black hole was released. It is larger than the size of our entire solar system

When you spend time with someone you like your brain releases oxytocin, as you keep spending time with them and falling in love, you’re basically addicted to them. That’s what “puppy love” is. You love the feeling of this chemical being released so much that you keep spending time with them. When you break up with someone you no longer have the source for oxytocin, so you basically go through withdrawal from them. Just know that you will eventually feel better after a breakup once your brain gets used to the lack of oxytocin from that particular source.

If someone says that the world is your oyster, they’re calling you a pearl. This is supposed to be a sweet sentiment, meant to give you encouragement to fulfill your dreams, but it’s not. A pearl forms when a foreign agent, such as a grain of sand or a parasite, gets into an oyster. The oyster defends itself by secreting fluid to encase the irritant in layers to protect itself. So, when someone tell you that the world is your oyster, they’re calling you a parasite.

Today in physics my professor asked us why it's better to launch rockets from the equator, and I blurted out "because it's closer to space"
