🚀The Dark Age: An unknown and solitary sea

Hello, friends!

My daughter has been studying astronomy this school year. Every Tuesday is astronomy day, and when she's finished with school, we watch an episode of Cosmos together.

Cosmos, of course, is always about astronomy and the larger theme of our place in the universe, but it's also often drawing parallels between those topics and other, smaller universes. In the episode we watched most recently ("The Cosmic Connectome"), host Neil deGrasse Tyson discusses the brain, and how it is a cosmos all its own.

In other words, it felt like the least astronomy-centric episode to-date. I'm not sure Squish cared very much; one one hand, she's just excited to watch TV on a school night, and on the other, she's pretty into this show.
