Astronomy taught us our insignificance in nature.

Astronomy is different from astrology in that while astrology makes everyone get to feel special while astronomy makes everyone get to feel insignificant.

Neutron stars can spin at a rate of 600 rotations per second

Anaxagoras was the first person to theorize that the moon and the sun were giant spherical rocks (mid-400s B.C.)

Neutron stars are dense --- just a bowlful of neutron star material has more mass than the Moon

Neutron stars are so dense that a soup can full of one would have more mass than the Moon

Astronomy is much more fun when you're not an astronomer.

Astronomy is the science of the harmony of infinite expanse.
