“There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man ... a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination.” 
-Rod Serling 1924-1975

"I think that taxpaying citizens are quite capable of accepting the new and broader reality; that we live in a cosmos teeming with life of various source. The fact that some other civilizations are more advanced than we are may be humbling but that could be a necessary step in our survival."

Happy Earth Day!

“It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.” 
-Neil Armstrong

NASA Video Captures Possible UFO Above Hurricane Irene

via Coast to Coast AM

I saw this video posted on Coast to Coast AM's site. I can't guarantee its authenticity or even if the object is a UFO... but it looks pretty legitimate to me.

Work of Art

Recently I have been lusting after a Stephen Sprouse Louis Vuitton scarf. While imagining the cashmere and silk fabric chicly wrapped around my neck, I studied the work of the infamous artist who passed away in 2004. It has been too long since I've been to the museum. Pittsburgh has a lot of really amazing ones, so I can't say that I have a good excuse for my absence. But atleast I can virtually admire these images. While I don't typically love modern art, I certainly can see the beauty in Sprouse's work.

Across the Universe

By now, many people have already seen this video but it doesn't get old for me. The universe and all of its infinite possibilities has fascinated me since I was old enough to speak. When I was little, my mom says that I often asked questions pertaining to the moon and stars. I was born a few days after the Challenger exploded. I'm pretty sure I was named Krista because Christa McAuliffe was mentioned so frequently in the news that week. It seems like so many people walk through life and never pause to recognize how beautiful our world truly is. It doesn't get lost on me. I haven't stopped asking the questions that may never be answered but it's really interesting to think about.
