In #astronomy we perceive
the operation of a force
which is mixed up w/
everything that exists
in the heavens or on 🌎
which pervades every atom
rules the motions of animate
& inanimate beings
is as sensible in descent of 💧
as in falls of Niagara

Morning! Would anyone like my lovely #RoyalAstronomicalSociety #diary? I run an electronic diary so it’s surplus to requirements. Coins shown for scale. Yes I know I can opt out of getting it from the #RAS but then I’d have to buy one to give away each year. EDIT: tagging #Astrodon
EDIT2: claimed! Congratulations @amatajo
