A beautiful and touching version of the Taiwanese oldie with the same name (in Chinese it is 綠島小夜曲).

lyrics by Chris Hadfield and Ed Robertson
on solid fuel and wires
turn the key and light the fires
we’re leaving Earth today
this rocket’s burning bright
we’ll soon be out of sight
and orbiting in space
pushed back in my seat
look out my window
there goes home
that ball of shiny blue
houses everybody anybody ever knew
so sing your song I’m listening
out where stars are glistening
I can hear your voices bouncing off the moon
if you could see our Nation
from the International Space Station
you’d know why I want to get back soon
eighteen thousand miles an hour
fuelled by science and solar power
the oceans racing past
at half a thousand tons
ninety minutes Moon to Sun
a bullet can’t go half this fast
floating from my seat
look out my window
there goes Home
that brilliant ball of blue
is where I’m from, and also where I’m going to
so sing your song I’m listening
out where stars are glistening
I can hear your voices bouncing off the moon
if you could see our Nation
from the International Space Station
you’d know why I want to get back soon
all black and white just fades to grey
where the sun rises sixteen times a day
you can’t make out borders from up here
just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere
pushed back in my seat
look out my window
here comes home
what once was fuelled by fear
now has fifteen Nations orbiting together here
so sing your song I’m listening
out where stars are glistening
I can hear your voices bouncing off the moon
if you could see our Nation
from the International Space Station
you’d know why I want to get back soon
you’d know why I want to get back soon
One of the world’s biggest living things is a mushroom. There’s a giant network of honey mushrooms spread across 2,200 acres of Oregon that’s more than 1,500 years old, and it strangles trees from underground by cutting off their nutrient and water supply. Scientists call it ‘The Humongous Fungus.’ Source Source 2

In Slavic folklore, the narecnitsi are a type of fairy, associated with fate, who will appear around newborn children and foretell their future. Often, they will appear after the birth of a future king or warrior.
The narecnitsi appear in many Bulgarian epics, including the story of Prince Marko and the tales of the brigand Momchil. Their name comes from the Old Bulgarian word “narecha,” to foretell.
