Another piece of old news that’s new to me: There is a giant cloud of alcohol in space. It contains enough alcohol to make 400 trillion trillion pints of beer.
The discovery of the cloud, called G34.3, happened in 1995.
In 2006, a cloud of methyl alcohol (the non-drinkable kind) was discovered in a different part of space.
It seems that alcohol is one of the key ingredients of the universe. Who knew?

“Becoming one with the universe” doesn’t sound quite so hippy-dippy anymore.
I want to figure out a way to import it. If they can sell heavy water vodka for $35 a bottle, think what 400 trillion trillion pints of space vodka would be worth.
Something new I learned today.
The Meridian for the Mountain Time Zone runs through Denver, CO. So at 12-Noon in Denver, the sun is the highest it will be. “Solar Noon” occurs at 12:28 p.m. in Phoenix.
