Its a little bitty bacterium that was one of the first plants… nay Lifeforms that earth was ever host to. These little buggers became so prolific that they turned earths atmosphere (which before was primarily carbon dioxide due to volcanic and meteoric activity) into mostly oxygen. they were so prolific that they CHANGED THE ENTIRETY OF EARTHS ATMOSPHERE so much that it caused an extinction event. And then combined with atmospheric methane which removed earths greenhouse effect causing one of the longest snowball earth periods in known history.
One.
Little.
Bacteria.
Killed everything on the planet.
Then encased the fucking planet in ice for millenia.
Damn Cyanobacteria you scary.

I feel like it’s impossible for me to explain how much I love Eliot Waugh. So let me start with some of his quotes.
“I bond fast. Time is an illusion.”
Quentin: If you’re trying to tell me that it gets better- Eliot: Oh, God, no. It doesn’t. I’m trying to tell you, you are not alone here.
“I think something might really be…broken.”
“Becoming me was the greatest creative project of my life.”
“I know I said I didn’t need a family to become who I was supposed to be, but it turned out that I did. And it was you.” —A letter Eliot wrote to Quentin
Dean Fogg: What were you expecting when you dove headfirst into that fountain? Eliot: …I was expecting to die.
Eliot is so, so sad, and he is so, so tortured. By killing someone who made his life absolute hell, he discovered he was telekinetic. He had to kill someone else - someone he loved - to protect everyone else. He lost his two best friends for a period of time because of a stupid, under-the-influence decision he made, but the thing that killed him the most was the thought of losing Quentin - and only Quentin.
He threw himself - as his clay-made clone - in front of an attack directed at Quentin without even thinking about what could happen. He didn’t care what could happen to him. He threw himself in front of Quentin, in front of a fatal attack, as second nature. He didn’t care what happened to him, as long as Quentin was okay.
And, despite everything that happened, he still became the High King of Fillory. He will go down in Fillorian history as High King Eliot, The Spectacular, because that is what he is. Despite wanting to die. Despite the bad things that had happened to him. Despite all of that. He will still be known as one of the greatest Kings to rule over Fillory. And even though it is fictional, if that isn’t uplifting and if it doesn’t give you hope, there is something seriously wrong with you.
she said what she said!
In the Silmarillion and Tales of the First Age Sauron was a being of Valinor perverted to the service of the Enemy [Melkor] and becoming his chief captain and servant. He repents in fear when the First Enemy is utterly defeated, but in the end does not do as was commanded, return to the judgement of the gods. He lingers in Middle-earth. Very slowly, beginning with fair motives: the reorganising and rehabilitation of the ruin of Middle-earth, 'neglected by the gods', he becomes a reincarnation of Evil, and a thing lusting for Complete Power – and so consumed ever more fiercely with hate (especially of gods and Elves). — J.R.R Tolkien, in his letters.

The First Picture of a Black Hole in History !
The global project “Event Horizon Telescope” (EHT) was focusing on two black holes through several worldwide-spanning radio telescopes over years. Finally, it could make this picture from an ultra-massive black hole from the galaxy Messier 87. It is the first time humankind could make a picture from a black hole. This achievement is comparible only with the historical moment of moon landing.
I just need to know one thing. Where they are...
