jtotheizzoe: The continental U.S. overlaid on the Moon, for your daily dose of perspective. Whoa. Compare the size of the craters to our biggest cities! To take your dose of perspective to the next level, check out this video from Veritasium on just how far away the Moon is from the Earth (Hint: Much farther than most people think): (via io9)

nerdology: I keep this picture of Freddy Mercury and and Darth Vader on my desktop. I have no idea where I got it from, but I look at it 3-4 times a day, and it makes me smile every time. Freddy is just the best.

The Odds of Finding Life and Love

You guys ready for the next episode of It’s Okay To Be Smart? This is a fun one, with a little Valentine’s Day theme. 

It’s about what the search for extraterrestrial life in our galaxy can teach us about our odds of finding that special someone. Starting with the Fermi Paradox and the Drake Equation, we’ll explore the odds of finding a human to love that meets your criteria. There’s a special cosmic love story involving a couple named Carl and Ann that I think you guys will like too :)

If you’d like to learn more about the science behind the numbers that went into calculating the odds of alien life for this video, check this doc: http://dft.ba/-4bBW
