Half of the picture shows two daisies in full bloom, the other half a chestnut tree without leaves and a winter nighttime sky behind.

Most days, we are focused on projects, meetings, and deadlines. It doesn’t happen often that we are reminded that we spend our entire lives on a tilted, rotating planet orbiting a star 💫🌞🌍💫.

The summer solstice is one of those rare occasions when our perspective briefly shifts, and we are reminded of our place in the universe ✨🪐🌙.

In the Northern Hemisphere, daylight has reached its annual maximum 🌻. Tonight will be the shortest night of the year. From now on, the days will gradually begin to shorten again. And although, judging by the current temperatures, it may be hard to imagine, this is already a distant hint of the coming winter ☃️❄️.

Science gives us the ability to understand this. Reproducibility gives us confidence that our understanding is correct 😊.

We can predict events like this year after year, century after century, even millennium after millennium.

If that ability isn’t a superpower, what is?

🚀🚀🚀
