Today I learned...


So this morning I was reading yesterdays comics

I was on the comic strip, "Peanuts"

And Charlie Brown was talking about how

In a few thousand years the "Big Dipper" will be gone.

This is couldn't believe.

So I researched it.

And sure enough,

In about 50,000 years (if the world is still here)

The Big Dipper will no longer be visible because

All the stars except two (Dubhe and Alkaid) are

Apart of the Ursa Major Moving Group.

Which shift incongruously with one another as a whole.

So eventually they will shift so differently that

The Big Dipper will no longer be recognizable.


Wow.
