Art history with Waldemar Januszczak
I love space, I love shuttles, I love telescopes, I love learning about galaxies and stars and supernovas and blackholes and planets no matter how far away they are. I love looking at pictures of the stars, I love showing those pictures to my friends, I love talking about new things I learn about space, I love hearing about humanity working together in order to see things millions or billions of lightyears away because of our ingrained want to explore and learn.
