The mathematician
This might not be apparent to the naked eye, but Tabby’s Place offers a doctoral program in mathematics. Take it from a naked guy with stars in his eyes.
New Selena
I would like to thank the unknown genius who named the invisible moon “new.” Selena would like to thank the moon itself.
Empressed
What is the value of a life? Do the planets lean in close when one stray trembles? Is the Northeast Hemisphere brave enough to save a single empress?
