The cow is jumping ☀️
TUESDAY | 2.25.25
Hey, space cadets. The moon was actually once a part of Earth. Turns out an object around the size of Mars crashed into Earth about 4.5 billion or so years ago, and the debris that flew off is what now orbits our planet. But there is far more to the moon than meets the eye — the dark side, for starters, and an impact on quite a few things on Earth you might not have known about. From exerting gravity to reflecting sunlight to being a guiding beacon, the moon’s role is far more important than turning your neighbor into a werewolf a dozen or so times a year. The gang who puts this almost daily newsletter did a deep dive into the moon and all of that in The Cosmic Issue of The Flow Trip. The cow is jumping.

The 40 humans who reside on the Isle of Rum in Scotland have put in the work to make their home the newest dark sky sanctuary in Europe. Celestial objects with a side of coke and rum — hold the coke.
Bob Dylan’s Nerdiest Fan Club
Apparently, a group of scientists-gone-rogue has been pulling a fast one on us for the past 17 years by sneaking in some of the A Complete Unknown singer’s song titles into their research paper titles. The nerdiest Bob Dylan fan club yet.
To the Moon
A solid playlist to throw on for that trip to the moon you might have planned this weekend. Or under tonight’s new moon. Or on your couch with some headphones and a bag of freeze-dried ice cream. Either way.
