Harrison Ford goes out into his backyard. He looks up at the stars and finds the brightest one. He shakes his head as he speaks. “You just had to tell them we slept together, didn’t you?” Carrie Fisher emerges in the sky like Mufasa and looks down on Harrison Ford before flipping him off.

“Phylicia Rashad began preparing for her role by declaring, “I’m going to empty myself.” Her quest to play a tragic heroine has led her to the @publictheaterny where, night after night, she’s giving a blistering performance in “Head of Passes.” The 67-year-old actress “will be hard pressed to ever again top her work here,” the @nytimes critic Ben Brantley wrote. He added, “It hurts to look into Ms. Rashad’s eyes at the play’s end.” Phylicia plays a Job-like woman named Shelah whose deep Christian faith is challenged by a series of devastating losses. Her performance has stunned audiences; she seems to shatter, physically and emotionally. Even for someone as loved and honored as Phylicia — she became famous playing Clair Huxtable on “The Cosby Show,” and then won a Tony Award for “A Raisin in the Sun” — the role is a rare treasure, and she is savoring it. The photographer @edeani photographed #PhyliciaRashad at @publictheaterny.” By nytimes on Instagram.
That’s great human, now do the other side.

Women scientists made up 25% of the Pluto fly-by New Horizon team. Make sure you share this, because erasing women’s achievements in science and history is a tradition. Happens every day.

“The distinguished American soprano Martina Arroyo made her @metopera debut in 1961. Her first role was a small one, singing the offstage celestial voice in Verdi’s “Don Carlo.” It would take several years, but Martina’s big breakthrough finally came in February of 1965, when she sang her first Aida, and soon after, landed the role of Elizabeth of Valois, the formidable heroine in “Don Carlo.” The @nytimes staff photographer Sam Falk took this photo of Martina backstage in 1965, looking aptly regal and in character, yet a little amazed: a young New York artist on the brink of what became a major Met career. During #blackhistorymonth, we’re sharing unpublished @nytimes photos that reveal major moments in black history. Visit the link in our profile to read more about Martina Arroyo, who just turned 79. #UnpublishedBlackHistory” By nytimes on Instagram.

literally all of us. except maybe carolyn, she’s nice.
These space posters are amazing. And then you find out they were made by NASA and they get even more amazing. The one for Mars is trippy af.

10 Black Scientists You Should Know
by Laurie L. Dove
1. Ernest Everett Just
In 1916, Ernest Everett Just became the first black man to earn a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in experimental embryology, but perhaps his greatest legacy is the sheer amount of scientific papers he authored during his career.
Just was born in 1883 and raised in Charleston, S.C., where he knew from an early age he was headed for college. He studied zoology and cell development at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., and worked as a biochemist studying cells at Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory in Massachusetts. He became a biology instructor at Howard University before finishing his Ph.D., and would spend 20 summers also working at Woods Hole. From 1920 to 1931 he was awarded a biology fellowship by the National Research Council. Just pioneered research into cell fertilization, division, hydration and the effects of carcinogenic radiation on cells.
Frustrated that no major American university would hire him because of racism, Just relocated to Europe in 1930. Once there, he wrote the bulk of his 70 professional papers, as well as two books. He died of pancreatic cancer in 1941 [sources: Biography, Genetics, Gwinnet County Public Schools].
2. Patricia Bath
Patricia Bath improved the vision of generations thanks to her invention for cataract treatment.
Born in 1942, Bath’s educational achievements began early. She graduated high school in only two years, then earned a bachelor’s degree from Hunter College and a medical degree from Howard University before accepting an ophthalmology fellowship at Columbia University. It was during this fellowship that Bath’s research uncovered some staggering statistics: When compared with her other patients, blacks were eight times more likely to develop glaucoma and twice as likely to go blind from it. She set her sights on developing a process to increase eye care for people unable to pay, now called community ophthalmology, which operates worldwide. Bath became the first African-American to complete a residency in ophthalmology in 1973, and the first woman to join the ophthalmology department at UCLA in 1975.
By 1981, Bath was hard at work on her most notable invention, a laser probe that precisely treated cataracts with less pain to the patient. Using the laserphaco probe she devised, she was able to restore sight to patients who had been blind for as long as 30 years. In 1988, she became the first black female doctor to receive a patent for a medical purpose. Since her retirement in 1993, Bath continues to advocate for the medically underserved and has focused on the use of technology to offer medical services in remote regions [source: Biography].
3. Marie Maynard Daly
Marie Maynard Daly was a pioneer in the study of the effects of cholesterol and sugar on the heart and the first black woman to earn a Ph.D. in chemistry in the United States. She was born in 1921, at a time when minority women often were denied educational and employment opportunities, but she didn’t allow prejudice to stop her pursuit of the sciences. By 1942, she had earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry with honors from Queens College in New York. She went on to complete a master’s degree, also in chemistry, just one year later.
It was while earning her doctoral degree from Columbia University that Daly’s research really began to gel. She discovered how internally produced compounds help digestion and spent much of her career as a professor researching cell nuclei. Importantly, she discovered the link between high cholesterol and clogged arteries, which helped advance the study of heart disease. She also studied the effects of sugar on arteries, and cigarette smoking on lung tissue. Daly established a scholarship fund for black students at Queens College in 1988. She died in 2003 [sources: African-American Pioneers in Science, Chemical Heritage Foundation].
4. David Harold Blackwell
David Harold Blackwell was one of the world’s most notable statisticians, but as a child he didn’t particularly like math. That was until he met the right teacher who opened a numerical world to him.
Blackwell, born in 1919, grew up in southern Illinois and by 16 was enrolled at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. At 22, he graduated from his home state university with a doctoral degree in mathematics and then studied at Princeton. Although Blackwell aspired to a teaching position, racial bias closed doors; he was denied posts at Princeton and at the University of California at Berkeley. However, he was offered a position at Howard University. (Berkeley later offered Blackwell a teaching job, and he became the university’s first black tenured professor in 1954).
While at Howard, Blackwell studied game theory and how it applied to decision-making in the government and private sectors during summers at RAND Corp. He became the United States’ leading expert on the subject, authoring a widely respected textbook on game theory, as well as research that resulted in several theorems named for him. One such theory, which explains how to turn rough guesses into on-target estimates, is known as the Rao-Blackwell theorem and remains an integral part of modern economics. In 1965, he became the first African-American to be inducted into the National Academy of Sciences. He died in 2010 [sources: Sanders, Sorkin].
