& if it does, you won't even feel it

This is my new favorite website ever:
http://hasthelargehadroncolliderdestroyedtheworldyet.com/

(Psst: Also, look at the page source. Hilarious.)

For more on the Hadron Collider itself (which is awesome by the way! science experiments for the win), check out NPR's coverage or info from CERN itself.

This thing is awesome, guys. Truly awesome. It could tell us about the start of the world (some people think it's going to end it, hence the link above). It could maybe make dark matter.
I am geeking out so hard right now!

Telescopes! Made of MOON DUST!

I'm not going to make another complainy post detailing everything I'm frustrated with--it's finals week, you can just sort of assume that. Instead, I have the most awesome link EVER to share with you:

Proposed Lunar Telescope Made From Moon Dust: "We believe we have found a way to turn moon dust into a telescope."

...is there anything cooler than this? I doubt it.
