The end of an era is at hand. Aqua, the 90s pop group most well-known for their one-hit wonder song “Barbie Girl”, is calling it quits. In a post shared on social media, Aqua issued a statement letting fans know they have retired and expressing gratitude for all the years of support. “Dear everyone,” the message began. “After many incredible years, we have decided to close the chapter of AQUA as a live band.” “AQUA has been such a huge part of our lives, and together we’ve had the chance to experience more than we ever dared to dream of,” they continued. “We’ve traveled the world countless times, met so many wonderful people, sung together with millions of you, and shared memories that we will carry with us forever.” The band then went on to add, “When you’ve been together for this long, you also learn when it’s time to protect what you’ve created together. For us, this feels like the right moment to s...

A bus-sized asteroid passed within 56,000 miles of Earth on Monday. That’s roughly a quarter of the distance between Earth and the moon. Scientists confirmed there was no chance of impact, which is the good news. The bad news is that nobody knew it was coming until a few days before. The asteroid, designated 2026 JH2, measures somewhere between 52 and 115 feet in diameter and was traveling at just over 5 miles per second. Astrophysicist Mark Norris described it to New Scientist as “as close as you can get without hitting,” adding that it’s “the kind of thing that would ruin a city quite efficiently, if it hit.” Researchers at the Mount Lemmon Survey in Arizona, the Farpoint Observatory in Kansas, and the Magdalena Ridge Observatory in New Mexico spotted it days before its approach. A city-killer with a few days’ notice? That doesn’t seem good.  A Bus-Size Asteroid Just Flew Past Earth, and Scientists Almost Missed It The size a...

When does your soul feel most at ease? Is it during crisp autumn walks under overcast skies, cozy winter nights by the fire with a snowstorm raging outside, warm spring afternoons at the park, or scorching summer days in your favorite beach town? Believe it or not, our favorite season can tell us a lot about our personalities and inner worlds. Here’s what your favorite season says about you. Winter If your favorite season is winter, you likely crave peace, rest, and solitude. Perhaps you’re introverted and feel overwhelmed by too many plans, or maybe you simply enjoy slow living and cozy nights spent at home with a good book. The cold doesn’t get to you. If anything, it reminds you that you’re alive and breathing, grounding you in the present moment. Plus, it’s not like you want to leave the house anyway. When it comes to your personality, you might be shy, quiet, or reflective, observing the world around you rather than actively participating in it. This isn’t a nega...

While I am a big believer in the concept of toxic nostalgia — the way people willingly romanticize the past into some glowing fantasy while bemoaning the present — there’s still something to be said for revisiting the communal rituals of youth when you’re older. Some childhood experiences really did offer something adult life struggles to replace. The connection, the sense of purpose, and the excuse to leave the house to hang with people who have a common passion. For instance, take this Associated Press article about the growing popularity of adult music camps across the United States. Band camps, which probably took a bit of a reputation hit in the wake of the first American Pie movie, are, contrary to the version of it described in the movie, collections of kids who spend a summer honing a musical craft. These kids eventually grow up, sell their tubas and trumpets for couches and beer money, and spend the next several years or even decades occasionally wondering if maybe ...

Gemini season arrives Tuesday, and it wastes no time. The Sun moves into Gemini on May 20th and conjuncts Uranus on Thursday, shaking loose anything that’s been sitting too still for too long — expect the unexpected and then expect it again. Mercury also comes home to Gemini on Sunday, conjuncting Uranus the same day, which means the way you think, speak, and process the world around you is getting a serious rewire. Take notes, stargazer. The ideas landing this week have staying power. Venus moves into Cancer on May 18th, pulling everyone’s attention toward what actually feels like home — who’s in it, what’s missing, what you’ve been taking for granted. Mars settles into Taurus the same day, swapping speed for intention. The Half Moon in Virgo closes the week on Saturday, asking every sign to get brutally honest about what’s working and what’s just been taking up space. How will your sign fare this week? Aries: March 21 – ...
