Those not at court could take their well wassailed show on the road, so to speak, & go door to door singing songs & offering a drink of wassail in return for gifts. #BenchFacts 3/4

The "Lonely Guy Gene" (LOG gene) is responsible for this, among other plant traits and functions, expressed in variable ways, & it is a gene that all plants have. All that being said, the band "Poison" owes science money. #BenchFacts 3/4

Learn from a bench and get rid of stuff! How could you be thorny at a time like this?! Because it's time to be prickly! My rosey necklace and earrings natural counter parts are adorned with prickles, rather than thorns. The big differences...1/4 #BenchFacts #Botany #Evolution #ScienceSky #Science

...we have the Giant Huntsman Spider. Neither are native to North America, but I think I shall carry a defensive tennis racket with me everywhere. 4/4 #BenchFacts

Learn from a bench! In a gaggle of 6 1/2 ft. long millipede & 28 inch wing spanned dragon fly relatives from hundreds of millions of years ago, the largest #Spider to ever walk the Earth is...walking it right now? I did not see that coming. Sea Scorpions, Giant Millipede relatives...1/4 #BenchFacts

They're breathable, antibacterial & act as a barrier between you & your clothes! No matter how you wanted to be less nasty, lined had you covered in one way or another! #BenchFacts

Learn from a bench! You better linen to me! #Linen is a popular fabric for clothing in the modern day as it is breathable, durable & sustainable. During the Middle Ages & beyond, though, it was a multi use staple of for the household. Are you wet? Dry yourself off....1/3 #BenchFacts

Many of the Kuiper Belt Objects have moons & a relatively high number of them, 11% ish, are binary systems. comets originate from this region also. I did it! I did the Solar System #BenchFacts Style! 3/3

Learn from a bench! The Kuiper Belt has things that are volatile, like me! The #KuiperBelt is a massive area of the #SolarSystem that begins at the edge of Neptune's orbit, 30 Astronomical Units (AU), & ends approx. 50 AU away from the Sun...1/3 #BenchFacts #Astronomy #Science

It also has an elliptical orbit with a 17° incline & crosses inside Neptune's orbit for a bit. 4/4 #BenchFacts

Learn from a bench! #Pluto has some weird stuff going on, like me! For those saying "But I thought Pluto was a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt", it is, but I'm including it in my #SolarSystem Serenade because I AM THE ONE ON THE BENCH & YOU'RE NOT!..1/4 #BenchFacts #Astronomy #Science #ScienceSky

It also has 16+ known moons & a faint system of rings. It is the windiest planet, with speeds of 1200-1500 mph. It's magnetosphere is a drinking buddy of #Uranus, for it is also crooked, though the reason why is unclear. #BenchFacts 3/4

Learn from a bench and get rid of stuff! The existence & discovery of #Neptune was theorized using math, just like me! It's existence was theorized in 1821 due to unexpected differences in the predicted orbit of Uranus...1/4 #BenchFacts #Astronomy #ScienceSky #Science

...(due to immense pressure on gases)"icey" ocean made up methane, ammonia & superionic water, which makes up is 80% of it's mass. It's atmosphere is 82.5% hydrogen, 15.% helium & 2.3% methane, which gives it's blue-ness. #BenchFacts 4/4

Learn from a bench! Uranus is blue & crooked, just like me! Uranus has a tilt of 97.8°, giving it big "Go home #Uranus, you're drunk" energy & I love that for them. This is theorized to be from an Earth sized object collision... 1/4 #BenchFacts #Astronomy #Science #ScienceSky

Think about it, we may have already had dinosaurs by the time Saturn got it's rings...5/5 #BenchFacts

Learn from a bench! Saturn, in theory, could float in water, just like me! For #Saturn, it's due to it's low density from it's composition of 96% hydrogen, 3% helium & 1% other stuff...1/5 #BenchFacts #Astronomy #Science #ScienceSky

On top of the T-1000 ocean is a 13,000 mile thick liquid hydrogen layer. Then there's it's lowest atmospheric layer, the troposphere, at 31 miles thick & then 30 more miles of visible atmosphere after that. At the very center, there may be or once was a solid core. #BenchFacts #ScienceSky 3/4

Learn from a bench & get rid of stuff! #Jupiter is hot, dense & theoretically metallic on the inside, like me! Due to it's size & immense pressure, Jupiter's core is thought to have a temp. of 13-35,000° F & atmospheric pressure 100 million times that of Earth. 1/4 #BenchFacts #Astronomy #Science

causing the oxidation of the planet's surface & helping give it it's redness #BenchFacts
Also the earrings went for day 251 of the purge streak. #ootd #SustainableFashion #declutter

Learn from a bench and get rid of stuff! The 4th planet from the Sun is rusty & dusty, just like me! #Mars gets it's red color from the massive amounts of iron oxide in its soil....1/6 #BenchFacts #ScienceSky #Science #Astronomy

Over time there have been multiple "Snowball Earths" when the planet was frozen (or mostly frozen), turning it white. #BenchFacts 5/6

Learn from a bench and get rid of stuff! 🎶 Welcome to the #Earth, 3rd rock from the Sun🎶". The 5th largest planet is squishy on the inside, like me!...6/6 #BenchFacts #Science #Evolution

The average age of the surface is 300-700 million years old, with some parts as young as 150 million years old. That's pretty baby faced for a planet that is approximately 4.6 billion years old! #BenchFacts Also the sunglasses went for day 249 of the purge streak #ootd #SustainableFashion

Learn from a bench and get rid of stuff! The #SolarSystem has a planet that's hot & has a weak magnetic field, just like me! #Venus, the 2nd planet from the Sun, lacks a self created magnetic field, even though it has an iron core...1/4 #BenchFacts #Astronomy #Science

Though it has a speedy orbit of the 88 Earth days per trip around the Sun, it's rotates slowly, taking 176 Earth days to make 1 full day & night happen. #BenchFacts

Learn from a bench! The #SolarSystem has a planet that is Mercurial, dense & has wildly fluctuating temperatures, just like me! The closest planet to the Sun, #Mercury, is the the smallest planet in our system, having a diameter that is just 1.4x that of our moon 1/4 #BenchFacts #Astronomy #Science

Learn from a bench and get rid of stuff! 🎶 Here comes the #sun🎶. The star at the center of our planetary system is named Sol, which is why we call it "The Solar System". Sol is 100x wider than the Earth & 93 million miles away...1/5 #BenchFacts #Science #Astronomy

The energy released creates extreme heat, which stops gravity from continuing the collapse of what is now a Main Sequence Star! 4/4 #BenchFacts. Also, the shirt & necklaces went for day 246 of the purge streak #ootd #SustainableFashion #Declutter
