Creative Mondays 117 – COSMOS
“What is Creative Mondays?
Monday’s are always a drag. The start of a new week, you have to go back to that routine of going to bed early/get up early. If (like me) you have to commute then you prepare for that long journey into work and that long journey back for the first time after a nice two day break.
So to kick off those lousy Mondays, I’m going to get my creative mind flowing in a positive way. Creative Mondays. A chance for me to show off something unfinished or finished that I’ve been working on throughout the previous week.”

For those that don’t already know there’s a great new science TV programme (technically a remake of a classic) called Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey. Hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson, the show discusses the history of the known universe and everything in it.
As mentioned many times before on this blog, the understanding of why we’re here, the galaxy and everything in it has always been something I’ve been fascinated in and I’m really looking forward to checking out this latest series. There’s more to update from Carl Sagan’s original show from the 80’s and hopefully a new generation to inspire.
I created this piece based off of the first episode (entitled “Standing up in the Milky Way”) where Tyson discusses how the Earth was ravaged by meteorites until it eventually cooled and could sustain life.
