The first simulated image of a black hole was calculated with an IBM 7040 computer using 1960 punch cards and hand-plotted by French astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet in 1978.

okay so i finished checking if we were friends in every universe and, uh, it turns out we're only friends in 6 of them. but look, i need you to understand these universes vary like crazy, okay? like 6 is actually insanely high, like way higher than most. and one of those is the universe where i accidentally killed the actor who played Dipsy from Teletubbies when i was 7 and my life went completely differently as a result. and we still ended up friends! also you were a girl in that universe for some reason. what? oh, uh, yeah, you were cute as hell. like really cute. did you just fucking giggle

I love how it doesn't matter what expedition it is.
They all turn into excited kids when they meet penguins.

my exceptionally long and pointy (a little over eight inches from base to tip, tapering to a 15 degree angle towards the ends)* elf ears detect the footsteps of an intruder in my bandit's hideout. they are near silent, obviously well trained. I smirk darkly to myself. the bishop has sent his men to reclaim his stolen gold already? he must be desperate. I signal to my buddy Fairy Michael, and move into position. the first thing the would-be assassins hear is THIS IS SPARTA! techno remix, played flawlessly on my buddy Fairy Mike's magical lute. the last thing they hear is the scraping ring of my twin knives leaving their sheathes
*TO ANY TRANSGENDER WOMEN: they are also exceptionally sensitive
