I haven’t blinded you with science in so long.
I know the regular readers tune out these posts. That’s OK. It doesn’t even hurt my feelings when nobody comments on my science posts. At some point, somebody will get a little more educated on modern science. Mission accomplished.
Here’s a pretty digital collage I whipped up, maybe that will hold your interest while I blab about the moon being wet behind the ears again. We already know the moon has H2O. I’m starting to wonder if they are trying to test our memory with these stories in the news.
National Geographic ran a new blog story this week about water found in moon rocks 40 years ago. This time I was amused. Didn’t I blog that 6 months ago?
(speaking is my bestest know-it-all voice) Why yes, I think I did. It’s right here: water on the moon, blah, blah, blah
The best part is that National Geographic was my source 6 months ago. Do they even read their own stories? Too cute.
Oh well, that spur-of-the-moment digital collage turned out nicely, didn’t it? I just love Ruth St. Dennis riding the aqua paisley waves through the purple galaxy. (There’s a flaw I was too lazy to fix, can you find it?)

Oh please continue to wax eloquent about science. I minored in it. I love love love science. I would have majored but was told my math skills were…uh..really bad. I can balance chemical equations but make it all numbers and my eyes glaze over and my brain goes into neutral. Wait, this isn’t about me…it is about YOU. Yes! Science On!

That is a very cool pic
Love the Moon! But don’t all Stevie Nicks’ fans? haha! xoxo

Thank you Barbara and Robyn for leaving comments. Maybe my little picture worked?

Maybe they’re just trying to make sure everyone KNOWS there’s water on the moon. I’ll bet if you went out today and picked 20 folks at random to ask them if the water is there most of them would say “no.”
I like the collage. It caught my imagination’s eye.

I am confused I thought the moon was made of green cheese. Still, enjoyed the collage but could not spot the flaw. x

From Optics: If every ray from the sun is a direct ray, what will you see when you look up? Oh, wait, was that the question?

I think I’m with Brenda on this one, people just don’t know or don’t care. Next time I’m in a situation with a selection of people (other than my nerdy friends – don’t want to skew the results) I’ll ask what everyone thinks. I suspect NATGEO keeps banging out the articles because A) it is exciting, B) it makes for a good read if it sounds like a fresh discovery and C) if they keep writing about it, maybe people will get it into their heads and care. Like you!
I say keep writing about it. Some people care and hopefully others will catch on and care, too. Pretty artwork to draw the attention doesn’t hurt either; thanks for sharing.
