The Monday Morning Memo

A new article in Popular Science asks, 
“Did Uranus get smacked so hard it spun sideways?”

Charlie Wood’s opening paragraph tells us:

“Like other giant planets, Uranus has a set of rings and more than a dozen moons that make it resemble a miniature solar system unto itself. But unlike its king-sized neighbors (and the rest of the planets for that matter) the ice giant system turns on its side, rolling rather than spinning. Now, a new simulation of the planet’s early years buttresses a theory developed to explain the weird orientation by showing that it can produce the planet’s moons too.”

“Hey Kids,

I want to tell you something interesting about reading books. It’s that books are about possible worlds –  not just the worlds we know well. They goad to us to go beyond the familiar, to consider not just the here-and-now, but the might-be. And that makes the world bigger and bigger and more and more interesting. Also, books don’t require that we do anything beyond imagining the world hey’re telling about, and that’s the kind of imagining that’s really fascinating! And then, maybe someday, you might even want to write a book, not just read one – to set out your own ideas about what kinds of books are possible! How about that?”
