Today NASA announced record-breaking news: Hubble Space Telescope spotted the farthest individual star ever seen to date, named Earendel, which means “Morning Star” in old English.

All the things that inspire us to be better, to do better come from the story we tell ourselves and to others. As authors of our stories, we pen the stars […]

Saturday night reflections. What a week. As I look out my window, to the sky above, to the street below, I think about the role awe has played in my life. How awe has been the source of my passions and my salvation. I often return to awe in times of difficulty, anxiety, stress, […]
On this day, starstuff gave birth to one of my childhood heroes. Today is Carl Sagan Day. I discovered Sagan before he passed away in 1996. The same year when my journey into physics at high school began then astrophysics at university. One of my favourite Sagan books I read while growing up was “Contact”. […]
