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.
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).

FACTS ABOUT PLUTO: - pluto is named after the Greek god of the underworld (a later name for Hades) - pluto is 1/3 water (in the form of ice of course) and is 3 times more water than in all of earths oceans (the other 2/3 is rock) - pluto’s orbit is eccentric and for part of it, it’s closer to the sun than Neptune is - pluto has an atmosphere (sometimes) –when its orbit takes it closer to the sun, some of the ice thaws creating a thin atmosphere –when it goes back into its normal spot the ice freezes and the atmosphere dissipates

sometimes I think about how people in europe (and esp france and spain) didn’t fucking bathe back in the middle ages to avoid sexual thoughts and I just. Imagine aph france and spain never living down how absolutely revolting they used to smell. Humans at least had to bathe when it became a medical problem or an emergency but nations don’t really have medical issues like that? So theoretically they can get away with being way nastier for way longer. Imagine russia, whose people did bathe, visiting frace with his delegates and being like wtf? are you dying? what’s wrong with you? Imagine germany one day admitting to italy that he sometimes feels awkward interacting with france because he’s so suave and crisp and clean and germany feels like he always smells a little of sweat and dirt. Italy just chokes on his coffee and is like omg don’t even worry about it he’s absolutely the last person alive that could possibly judge you for how you smell holy shit
