O meu problema é que eu carrego demais minhas expectativas com meros sonhos. Faço mil planos, ponho minha cabeça nas nuvens e acabo tirando os pés do chão. Ao encontro de alguém, flutuo contente e acabo fazendo um pouso forçado e infeliz ao me deparar com a realidade.

ESA to Develop Gravitational Wave Space Mission with NASA Support
ESA (the European Space Agency) has selected the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) for its third large-class mission in the agency's Cosmic Vision science program. The three-spacecraft constellation is designed to study gravitational waves in space and is a concept long studied by both ESA and NASA.
ESA’s Science Program Committee announced the selection at a meeting on June 20. The mission will now be designed, budgeted and proposed for adoption before construction begins. LISA is expected to launch in 2034. NASA will be a partner with ESA in the design, development, operations and data analysis of the mission.
LISA consists of three spacecraft separated by 1.6 million miles (2.5 million kilometers) in a triangular formation that follows Earth in its orbit around the sun. Each spacecraft carries test masses that are shielded in such a way that the only force they respond to is gravity. Lasers measure the distances to test masses in all three spacecraft. Tiny changes in the lengths of each two-spacecraft arm signals the passage of gravitational waves through the formation.

Older Than the Universe
Older Than the Universe
Estimates say that the universe is 13.8 billion years old, but there is a star that was dated at more than 14 billion years old. That can’t be possible, right? Can anything be older than the universe?
I saw a mention of this and so did some digging and found a longer article in All About Space magazine about this paradox.
The oldest star with a well-determined age in our galaxy is popularly…
