地球绕太阳旋转。这是一个事实,而非阴谋论。

即使在如此启蒙的时代,我们也很高兴被提醒人们曾经认为的相反观点——即宇宙围绕地球旋转——这可以短暂地将我们从知识的象牙塔中拉下来,并提醒我们我们已经走了多远。

当我观看俄勒冈州的“寻 Oregon”时,这种感觉击中了我,这是一个由波特兰的 Uncage the Soul 视频制作公司制作的令人惊叹的延时视频。这个四分钟的视频突出了俄勒冈州不同地点的夜空和白昼。虽然旨在成为旅游宣传片,但它的作用远不止于此。它令人叹为观止,名副其实,并且以一种鼓舞人心而非恐怖的方式令人毛骨悚然。观看星星在天空中呼啸而过,让我停了下来思考。因为一个在真空中出生的人在观看视频后会得出结论,实际上天体是围绕地球旋转的。

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.
