... and if you find a new crater you are already ahead in your celebration! 

A hats off to scientists in general who can focus for aeons on one thing. Not me.

My favorite "scientific" area of interest is biomimicry, or the study of how Nature designs things. Look up Janine Benyus, one of the visionary leaders in the study and application of biomimicry. A great TED Talk here. 

DEFINITION of this 5-syllable noun:
  1. the branch of astronomy that deals with the nature and origin of the physical features of the moon.

    The Word of the Day comes from Dictionary.com. Use the word in your own haiku and add to the comments.

    Improve your vocabulary and your haiku skills at the same time! If you don't know the definition, it's below, but see if you can figure it out from the haiku and/or image. 

    Poet and designer, David Alan Foster has been experimenting with haiku since the '70s. He has inspired (or possibly offended) many with said experiments.
