Our brains love the colour gradation in rainbows, maybe due to our ancestors searching for sources of water. Looking at plants helps us recover from stress & looking at something we think is beautiful causes dopamine release.

Het is juni. De zon gaat niet ver genoeg onder de horizon om het echt donker te laten worden. Het zijn de grijze nachten.
Trek een lijn van de ster Wega door Rasalhague en vind Antares in de Schorpioen. Zie je de rode kleur? Antares is een rode superreus.
Veel plezier 💙 met #sterrenkijken ✨

Trump is all phone. Nothing in writing.
Elon isn't going to take 10+ calls a day.
I wouldn't be surprised if more than half their communications are via posts on Truth Social and X
Literally.
