Fact: Wearing a hat helps keep your whole body warm when it’s cold out. Fact: an Obama 2012 knit hat will make you look fetching at the same time. Scientists agree.

Why is it always better to look for shooting stars just before dawn? This shows a simulation of the Earth going on its orbit around the Sun, and encountering the debris from a comet that has passed by. This is precisely what the Earth has been doing for the past couple of days, creating the Perseid meteor shower. The A.M. half of the Earth is at the front of the orbit, and like a car’s front wind shield it picks up a lot of the debris. Have a look out for meteors again tonight! [code] [more]
I never even thought about that. Thanks tumblr for clearing that up.
