One of my Galaxy Spoons with Earth Marble

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

-Carl Sagan

*madly decorating blown eggs up until the second my neighbor's dad comes over to pick them up so he can hide them around his patio for the grandkids among more conventional plastic eggs full of chocolate*

My very first time doing blown eggs! I also discovered that if you leave eggs in vinegar and PAAS coloring too long (Because the vinegar makes the color stronger) you can demonstrate what ocean acidification does to calcium carbonate shells!
