Particle Physics and Pony Fiction Experimentalist
It’s Fluttershy’s turn to give a science lesson. This one requires a trip to Earth, and on the eve of an important day for Scotland, let’s send her there.
New Story: Fluttershy Defends Scotland Against Invasion by Alien Squirrels
The idea that a story can teach the reader something is as old as storytelling itself. All genres of literature—poetry, plays, novels, fan fiction—have all set out to teach us something. But it is nearly always something of human interest (such as the magic of friendship).
In this post Twilight will show you how to build your own spectrometer, to split light into all its constituent colours. Like those used by professional astronomers to study distant stars and galaxies.
Checklist! You will need:
One breakfast cereal box
One old CD
Aluminium foil
Sticky Tape
Pair of scissors and a sharp knife (take care not to cut yourself)
A triangle to measure a 60° angle

To look at the root of a zebra stripe,
Why did these equines evolve just so,
With black and white streaks from head to toe?
A camouflage trick? Set to confuse,
Their predators by the dazzling views,
A fair guess, but it seems not quite right,
While finalising Twilight's Sputnik, I got thinking about all the fiction I have read which involves some sort of stargazing. One which came to my mind was Isaac Asimov's classic short story Nightfall, a tale of an alien world which is only plunged into darkness once every 2000 years or so
This week, we send our team of flying pony geoscientists to Iceland to report on the news there.
It was great to see that Twilight’s Sputnik remained orbiting around the Popular Stories box for some five days—far longer than I expected for such a short story. And it has been an exciting week for space science, with the amazing photos from the Rosetta mission. Let’s hear about comets from Twilight and Luna…
