A Bright Energy Idea in Action
Its easy to take electricity for granted, but for more than one billion people living without it globally it’s still a luxury. Shell is teaming up with startup GravityLight to bring its bright idea for clean, affordable light to communities in Kenya. Join Yemi Alade in On Top of the World and see how this ingenious device can help brighten homes.
Contestants in the 2017 Miss Peru competition used their platform to bring awareness to violence against women. Instead of stating their body measurements when they stepped up to the mic, the women reported statistics like “the 65% of university women assaulted by their partners” and “more than 80% of women in my city suffer from violence.” Source Source 2
Supergiant stars are beasts! Their life is a fight between gravity pushing in and heat pushing out. They fuse heavier and heavier elements in their core until they get to iron. They can’t fuse any more. Iron absorbs more energy than it returns, so gravity takes over. The star’s core collapses and the star dies in an explosive supernova that outshines its entire galaxy.
The heat of a supernova fuses new elements during the explosion, which are then spread out into space via the nebula remnant. Nebulae are the birthplaces of new stars and solar systems.
The iron in your blood came from one of the most powerful explosions in the universe.

There are 4 stages in life. First, you believe in Santa, then you don’t believe in Santa, then you act like Santa, and then you look like Santa.

So I went to an art conference at my school. We discussed things there, like how colors can be very powerful and our subconscious picks up the subtlest of hints. Pixar’s UP was a very unforgettable example. The colors of UP had a lot to do with why we cried. You all know what I’m talking about, right??
Ellie’s death.
We were told that her color was pink. That’s why her hospital room had pinkish hue.
And the next scene had strong pink hues. He misses her. I think it’s got strong colors because of her personality.
Also, It’s like her presence is still lingering.
When he got home, only a small part of the frame (window on the right) has a pink hue as the sun is setting. By now, we know her presence is drifting away.
Mr. Fredricksen walks up the porch and goes into his house.
And when he shuts the door, the final frame looks like this:
Ellie is gone.
The entire frame is desaturated and cold because the warmth in Mr. Fredrickson’s life is gone.
And that’s another reason why this masterpiece is heart-wrenching. And that’s how powerful colors are in films.

Any tv show: science is amazing and can do literally anything very quickly
Me, a scientist: science is the worst. Nothing works and even simple things take literally forever
