A giant green comet is passing by earth today one that passed by the earth some 50,000 years ago.
We only mention it because like so many things we talk about in the following program it’s just really neat.
There are a lot of things on planet earth that are really neat.
Not the least of which is you!
You in the overall generalized sentient hominin sort of way.
Specifically, you is no doubt also very neat and interesting, and multifaceted in your particular way of existing living life on a moist rocky planet with a molten lava core orbiting a nuclear fireball like you do but just keeping it generally human for the moment
What a wonderful thing that is to be, sure there’s the problems usually caused by other humans but there’s also all of the solutions often created by other humans. Not to go so far as to make a point about anything here but there is something to be said for having the ability to think and to do without it we can’t even imagine what there would be to talk about.
Humans have brains capable of understanding just about any concept and we think that’s really neat.
Which is why we have brought you a selection of interesting concepts pulled from recent scientific research for you to wrap that really neat brain of yours around here on This Week in Science!
