This year, you could smell space, meet the Clangers and record messages which were beamed from a telescope in the Netherlands, bounced of the actual motherflipping moon, and then relayed to one of the Jodrell bank telescopes to be played to the crowd.

This sounds awesome.  I hate festivals as a rule, being a demophobic misanthropist who equates tents with peace and quiet and trees and board-games by torchlight, but I'm keen to go with the kids to one at some point so they don't end up like me (my brothers live for festivals, and I envy them). I've become acutely conscious that at 13 my eldest will only tolerate our company for a couple of years more at the outside, so I need to get on with it: this sounds like just the ticket.

> Using a new, simple mathematical framework, the study shows that dark matter may have been produced before the Big Bang during an era known as the cosmic inflation when space was expanding very rapidly.

Eh? Bit of an editorial problem there I think.

That's pretty wild. Some cosmologists suggest there might be dark matter hangovers from previous universes but I have no idea about that. "Curiouser and curiouser!" Cried  Alice.

T-Rex grew bigger than previously thought...!

That Thoth and his time-travelling antics.  Still can't quite picture Satanus with feathers though.

Have you ever seen a Cassowary in person?! Pure Therapod blood, those things are scary how much like late Cretaceous none avid raptors they are.

Tiplodocus

Just been at Tidbinbilla one of the deep space tracking stations where they have a lovely bit of moon rock and the sub reflector from Honeysuckle Creek (Just down the road) that received the moon landing pictures.
Be excellent to each other. And party on!

I see what your mean.  You'd wonder how it is that Creationists manage to keep on lying to themselves.
