ASTRO FACT: Jupiter Is Well Known For Being The Fastest Spinning Planet In Our Solar System. Many Wonder

Yoongi is that vine of that guy holding a nerf gun saying “Someone dropped ice on the floor and it melted now my sock is wet, who the fuck wanna die?”

*key*

If you want to learn a liiiitle bit of astronomy(or just like the stars), this might come in handy ^^

Fun fact: Yesterday I told one of my friends to get me into an astronomy club (I know awesome) and sadly there are too many people already. I guess the universe didn’t want it to happen.

Fun Fact 23

Japan’s national anthem is said to be the oldest in the world with its lyrics based on a poem written during the Heian period (794–1185).

It’s hard to imagine the Italian renaissance without Botticelli; the artist responsible for bringing Spring to life and whose frescoes reside beneath Michelangelo’s in the Sistine Chapel. But for over 300 years one of the most celebrated sons of Florence remained largely unknown. It was the Pre-Raphaelites, in their rejection of academic convention in art and attempt to return to a golden age of painting, who resurrected Botticelli to his modern fame. Today The Birth of Venus and Primavera receive over 1.5 million visitors annually at the Uffizi Gallery. 

While Botticelli has achieved a posthumous fame equal to that of Raphael or Michelangelo much of his life remains in obscurity. One detail that can be confirmed is Botticelli originally apprenticed as a goldsmith with his brother, Antonio. The influence from these early years are a defining component in several of Boticelli’s works. Minute details become transformed into items of fantasy and wonder, and the audience is reminded that they are looking at the other worldly. Goddesses are the ones born in a swirl of shimmering flowers and gilded forests, not you or I. Mary was born a mere mortal, but now she is wholly divine. The Virgin is golden haired, radiant, and draped in fabrics spun with gold; unattainable luxury worthy only for the Queen of Heaven.

Adam and Eve weren’t people, they were ships sent by a dying race of a wasted planet to Eden, or Earth, as it’s now called.
