Starstuff, Dancing

I feel as if I should be writing about all of the sociopolitical things going on right now, but I also feel as if I did I might never ever stop. So instead two lovely items: grains of sand found in meteorites may go back to the supernova that sparked the Solar System’s formation (with thanks to Tigerlily) and below the cut, a Gif I found representing the Solar System’s dance through space. [ETA [livejournal.com profile] peteralway, an astronomer, points out the gif's inaccuracies, but it's still pretty.]
