地球繞太陽旋轉。這是一個事實,而非陰謀論。

即使在如此啟蒙的時代,我們也很高興被提醒人們曾經認為的相反觀點——即宇宙圍繞地球旋轉——這可以短暫地將我們從知識的象牙塔中拉下來,並提醒我們我們已經走了多遠。

當我觀看俄勒岡州的“尋 Oregon”時,這種感覺擊中了我,這是一個由波特蘭的 Uncage the Soul 影片製作公司製作的令人驚歎的延時影片。這個四分鐘的影片突出了俄勒岡州不同地點的夜空和白晝。雖然旨在成為旅遊宣傳片,但它的作用遠不止於此。它令人歎為觀止,名副其實,並且以一種鼓舞人心而非恐怖的方式令人毛骨悚然。觀看星星在天空中呼嘯而過,讓我停了下來思考。因為一個在真空中出生的人在觀看影片後會得出結論,實際上天體是圍繞地球旋轉的。

Hannah Waters is a science writer fascinated by the natural world, the history of its study, and the way people think about nature. On top of science blogging, she runs the Smithsonian's Ocean Portal, a marine biology education website, and is science editor for Ladybits.

Hannah is a child of the internet, who coded HTML frames on her Backstreet Boys fanpage when she was in middle school. Aptly, she rose to professional science writing through blogging (originally on Wordpress) and tweeting profusely. She's written for The Scientist, Nature Medicine, Smithsonian.com, and others.

Before turning to full-time writing, Hannah wanted to be an oceanographer or a classicist, studying Biology and Latin at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. She's done ecological research on marine food webs, shorebird conservation, tropical ecology and grassland ecosystems. She worked as a lab technician at the University of Pennsylvania studying molecular biology and the epigenetics of aging. And, for a summer, she manned a microphone and a drink shaker on a tour boat off the coast of Maine, pointing out wildlife and spouting facts over a loudspeaker while serving drinks.
